How do you deal with junk mail?

The best solution I know of is a good paper shredder and a large trash can.

That gets rid of it but doesn't stop it. Send back the reply envelope with nothing in it but a note saying to take you off their mailing list. They had to pay to receive their business reply envelope. If it is going to cost them money each time I'm thinking they will stop sending it. Also, these clowns sell your name and address to other charities. So just throwing their stuff away will not help, they will keep sending and selling your name.

good idea - I will try it!

I have a bin I throw it all in for the week and then at the end of the week I sit and shred it all and toss it in the recycle bin.

Although, @daniela1982 , has a great idea of sending the reply envelope back to them with a note telling them to take me off their mailing list. I might start trying that and see if I start getting less. And even if I don't get less at least I know that I am costing them money, and they just costing me time.

Thanks for the MHO!

All my mail is junk mail. The non shiny paper stuff I pulp up and make into fireplace logs. Doesn't make any coals but it burns for a while and is good to start the real wood burning.

How do you make it into fireplace logs?

I have something similar to this

I get about 6-8/year.

[msc545]

I will order one - thanks!

[BoopBoopBeep]

Sure thing buddy! They don't replace real wood, but beats having to toss carloads of crap that gets mailed to you. And free BTU is free BTU

There is a way to reduce the junk mail, just like the national "do not call list". If you do a search It shouldn't be too hard to find.

It goes through the shredder. Then it goes to the recycling dumpster.

There's a bin where the mailboxes are in my complex, where it goes... I have no idea

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I pitch it in the trash all garbage.

Some people use it as kindling in their fireplace

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t get any of them, thankfully.

A “no junk mail” sign on my letter box.

Same here!
