I don't know about you, but I get at least three or four catalogues in the mail every single day.
Do you have any idea how wasteful that is? The days of recycling catalogues by using them in the outhouse are long gone, my friends! And we are not just talking about paper here...
what about the inks and chemicals? To stop the constant influx of catalogues to your mailbox, call the 800 number of the company, making sure you have the catalogue, or at least the label from it in front of you.
Tell them to stop sending catalogues and to remove you from their mailing list.
You can also look them up online, go to contact us, and give them the same information.
Or tape the label to a FAX cover sheet with instructions and FAX that to the company.
Make sure you send it to the attention of customer service.
If the company includes a self-addressed, postage paid envelope with the catalogue, you can simply tear off that label, and put it in the envelope with your instructions to take you off of their mailing list.
Again, make the envelope to the attention of the customer service department.
Another annoying and wasteful thing is when you keep getting both junk mail and first class mail for people who used to live at your address.
You can cross out the address and write "moved, no longer at this address" or "left no forwarding address" across the front of the envelope, and hopefully, it will be returned to the sender.
If that doesn't work, speak to your carrier about the problem.
