Do you get TONS of Junk mail everyday? Probably.. just about every week we get the same credit card offers and flyers. It made me so sick to throw away all that paper that we started a huge collection for all our paper trash that we can recycle every other week. But in the meantime the pile up drives me crazy! If it goes outside it gets wet and soggy.. so we just keep it in the kitchen.. not very economical on the space. I was excited to find this way to STOP junk mail delivery all together.

Americans get more than 2 million tons of junk mail a year. That adds up to a lot of trees. If you want to help make a difference just send a letter to the Mail Preference Service asking them to remove your name.
Mail Preference Service

- Write: "Please remove my name from any junk mail lists."
- Include all of the different ways your name is spelled when you get junk mail. (Ex. Jane Doe, J. Doe, etc.)
- You'll need to include a check or money order for $1.
Another way to get your name off of the junk mail lists (without it costing any money) is to do in online at the following address: https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/mps_consumer_description.php
This will stop your name from being sold to most large mailing list companies. Your request will last for 3 years. It won't stop the one's that already have your name but it can reduce your junk mail by 75%. To stop the ones that have your name contact them directly.
Other ways to cut down on paper waste is to switch to online billing for all of your regular bills. Credit cards, electric, water, cell phone, cable, phone, and internet.. even our mortgage.. ALL of the bills are paid online through my bank account. Or if they don't have that billpay option I'll go directly to the account online and make payment. It's amazing how much less paper we have now.. and I don't have to file things or shred them because they have our account number on them!
Hope you like the tips! Now enjoy the free or cheap goodies!
