UGH! Junk mail

I love getting mail, but I don't like the junk mail.  There is a way to reduce if not eliminate the amount of unwanted paper coming into your mailbox, it's called opting out.

There are several websites you should visit to help you "opt out" of receiving generic junk mail.  Here are a few sites to get you started:

www.optoutprescreen.com  This site stops pre-approved financial offers. You can opt out for five years or permanently.  Each adult living at your address must enter an individual request.

dmachoice.thedma.org  This site prevents unsolicited commercial mail from many national brands for a five year period.

www.valpak.com/coupons/show/mailinglistsuppression and www.redplum.com To stop receiving bulk coupon mailers from smaller brokers not registered with the DMA.

www.yellowpagesoptout.com To opt out of telephone directories in your area.

Until your requests are activated shred your address from any incoming junk mail.
