junk snail mail
try this once or twice:
There are two types of junk mail that everyone gets: coupons for stupid bullshit that you don't want, and credit card applications for credit to buy stupid bullshit that you don't need. Here's how to take care of all your junk mail in one fell swoop: use the postage-paid envelope that credit card companies send you with their applications to send them the OTHER junk mail you receive. It's just that simple. Imagine the frustration of credit card companies when they have to spend millions of dollars every year on first-class postage just to open up an envelope and find Pizza Hut coupons inside. The envelopes are intended to be used for "BUSINESS REPLY MAIL," and so use them for their intended purpose. You're sending them valuable money-saving coupons which could mean big savings to credit card companies, and it makes good business sense to use them. Consider it a reply to their business proposition with a business proposition of your own: 35 cents off a large, one-topping pizza. In fact, they should be thanking you for giving them these money-saving opportunities. Or how about sending them credit card applications from other credit card companies? Be creative.

Re:junk snail mail
I ripped them up and put them back in the envelope once. I never got a reply.

Re:junk snail mail
Ive been doing this for about a year now. It doesnt stop the mail from coming, but it sure is funny. I wait until I get about 50 of them (which only takes about a month) and then just drop them all in the mailbox. When I first heard about it the idea was that if we all did this then the post office wouldnt be going broke anymore. I figure I am doing my part to keep stamps from going up to like $.59 or something
