One Way to Help, and Save Some Space.

So, I recently moved to house with a mail slot. I didn't think that this would be an issue, I even thought it was nice, I didn't have to go out to get the mail and it was a little safer inside the house. This was all before I realized how much junk mail we get. Our mail slot gets clogged with junk mail, so to help stop the clog and stop the waist of junk mail itself, this is what I did.

It is a little more complex than just calling to put your number on the do not call list, but it is one way to help. First, you can go to www.optoutprescreen.com and register yourself. This will stop unwanted mail from mailers that use the consumer credit service. This is also a great way to stop identity theft, as it can stop all of those credit card pre-approvals. You can keep someone from stealing your name and starting a credit card approval, and you can stop unwanted mail.

There a lot more places you can go to help stem the flow of unwanted mail, here is link to an online article from the TODAY Show, that has a lot of good resources and you don't even have to listen to Matt and Meredith's crappy scripted banter. Click Here to check it out.

Hope this helps your mailbox go on a diet, hopefully it will help mine.
