If you are like me most of the mail you get these days is junk mail. Credit card and insurance offers come almost everyday. There’s a way to stop most of this mail and keep it from every being printed, mailed in a gas guzzling truck or ending up in the recycle bin.

You can stop a lot of this mail by telling the Direct Marketing Association you don’t want it. You can sign up on their website or print out a form and mail it in with $1. This will stop a lot of junk mail because a lot of mailers are members of the DMA. Here’s where to learn more: https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/proto1.php

You can also Opt Out of all those pre-approved credit card offers by telling the credit bureaus you don’t want them. This website will help you contact them all. https://www.optoutprescreen.com/

It may take a few months for the junk mail to slow down. You can also contact companies that mail you and tell the you want to receive all your communication via email or have them add you to their do not mail list.
