Well, I benefitted from discounted car rental rates but on returning to TV after several months I found that over half of my mail was from AARP - car insurance, life insurance etc.

I have no problem throwing it in the trash, but they are certainly keeping the USPS in business.
Here's a hint. If you get unwanted mail solicitations (from AARP or any other source) that provides you with return envelope that you don't have to stamp, just return the application form or other material (blank, of course) and send it back. They have to pay postage on those returns and if they get enough of them, it might discourage the garbage mail.
