By doing so, your bulk mail will not forward unless specifically endorsed. If you switch to a P.O. box, I suggest filling out a postal change of address form.

I live in Sydney, and here, all you have to do is put a sign on your mailbox that reads: "NO JUNK MAIL" and voile, it disappears. Life should always be this simple! jsyl.blogspot.com This is so strange!

My apartment building doesn't have a trash bin near the boxes so I end up bringing the junk into my home. I probably dispose of a full garbage bag of junk mail each month! That's a lot of trees! Mike: Where do you get this wealth of knowledge?! Thank you! I'll definitely get on that...stat! Donna: I’m glad someone shares my frustration!

Our Apartment Manager keeps a large trash container by the mail boxes just for people to throw out the junk mail. A pet peeve of mine, there is tons of marketing flyers mailed from cable and phone companies. They are quick to let people know if someone is behind in monthly payment, yet these companies must spend "millions" of dollars on advertising for products. Everyday I receive an advertisement from one of my phone companies or cable service. Duh! If they quit printing and mailing, they may have room in the budget to hire at least one more employee. Thank you for letting me post ~ it is great to say this out loud. How true! Our Apartment Manager keeps a large trash container by the mail boxes just for people to throw out the junk mail.
