Most of my junk mail comes either from AAA trying to sell me insurance scams of various sorts or or AARP, which I believe sells the names and addresses of members to a variety of businesses. If you buy something online from a store, there’s a good chance you will start getting their catalogs in the mail, and some of those stores also sell you out to other stores that sell similar information. After a few years without your making a purchase, they will stop sending the catalogs. Make one buy and you are back on the list. Usually these catalogs have a number in them you can call to be removed from the list.
The U.S. Post Office has raised the price for shipping bulk mail a lot in the past twenty years. It forced a lot of printers and stores out of business. We’re it not for that, you would receive a lot more junk mail.
