Get Rid of Unwanted Mail

I created this blog to provide information to other consumers who receive unsolicited mail and want to stop receiving such mail.

Is your mailbox stuffed with mail you didn't request?
Is your mailbox crammed with junk mail and you want it to stop?

Here are the resources I found that can help reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive.

OPTION ONE:  

Every Door Direct Mail Consumer opt-out

https://www.dmachoice.org/EDDM/index.php

The US Postal Service has introduced Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) to small businesses around the country. In a nutshell, the neighborhood business can advertise by giving the local Post Office a bundle of promotional mail without any names and addresses and the postal carrier will deliver it to every patron on their route. It is an inexpensive and very effective way for small businesses to advertise their products and services.

The USPS did build in a process for businesses to exclude mail from certain mailboxes, but unfortunately no one told consumers how to register for the opt-out service and until now there has been no central repository for the opt-outs.

The Direct Marketing Association is working with the USPS, printers and other businesses to encourage the use of our consumer EDDM opt-out list.

We encourage consumers that would like to Opt Out of the EDDM service to register using the form below. We will make this data available to responsible business owners that respect the wishes of consumers to opt-out of this type of mail.
