How to Get Rid of Junk Mail

Many people dislike junk mail for a variety of reasons. Some want to do their part to help save the trees. Others want to limit the amount of times their personal information is floating out there. And for most, they just can’t stand getting junk mail that goes from their mailbox directly into the recycle bin.

Saying that, while you can’t stop all of the junk mail coming to you can certainly limit the amount of junk mail that is sent to you. Below are various companies that sell your information and also by law has to allow you to “opt-out” of having that information either given out or sold.

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA)

A service they provide to member companies and others is to distribute a list of people who want to opt-out of mail or telemarketing campaigns.

The DMA updates the list every month or so, but a company might not update their list for three to six months. In other words, it's going to take a while before you see a big decrease in your junk mail.

By mail there is a $ 1.00 service charge
