Where is the push by environmentalist. How many trees can we save. It must contribute to global warming.

Without the “junk mail”, the Post Office will go out of business.

The postal workers get a bonus for each piece they deliver. I asked them

That are paid more than an RN saving lives and caring for Covid patients. (Not talking about Villages mail box stuffers but us postal workers)

If you really hate it so much and want it to go away, I don’t think anyone is holding a gun to your head to make you go down to the postal station to collect it. Just quit going there.

Return to sender with the notation “deceased 2014”. It works.

Our son who moved out to go to College 25 years ago still was getting junk mail 20 plus years later while we were still living in Va.

Somehow now that we live here he is getting his junk mail with our new address.

I signed up with DMAchoice.org in June. For $2 they supposedly take your name/address off junk mail lists for 10 years. I decided to try it for that amount. So far, I can’t say I’ve seen much difference. Oh well….

So what are you trying to say, what’s the solution?

It wouldn't work. I don't go there often, but you can't quit going because you may receive an "official" letter that you must respond to, such as a letter from the IRS, a jury summons, or a court order. I think people should be able to cancel their postal account, and all mail would be returned to the sender, notifying them that the recipient no longer has a Postal Service account. That would greatly reduce the junk mail problem.

Imagine how lucky we are. This is a big problem? Truly simple solution, pick up your mail every two or three days and toss the junk.

There's a trash can less than 20 feet from the mail box.
