Getting rid of junk mail

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.
