- Some notes on how to reduce junk mail
-
- 1. Mark first class mail "REFUSED" and drop back in mail box. The article
- will be returned to the sender at no charge. Note that mail other than
- first class will not be returned.
-
- 2. Use supplied return envelopes to send label back. Mark with "Remove
- from mail lists".
-
- 3. Return to sender with 1 cent stamp and no return address but include
- label and ask to be "Remove from mail lists". The addressee will have
- to pay postage due of 24 cents. This one gets there attention.
-
- 4. Call the 800 number and ask to be removed. Have label handy.
-
- I have placed the addresses of mass mailers in my mail list manager to
- automate the envelope production, and made sets of labels with "Remove from
- Mail List" messages.
-
- My junk mail has dropped by 50% in 3 months.
