Transcript: Today’s #opttoact Week 16! Aren’t you sick of receiving junk mail that you do not want or need? Each year, Americans receive an estimated 4 million tons of junk mail. And around 40 percent of that mail ends up in a landfill without ever being opened. I will list several ways you can limit unwanted mail from coming to your mailbox. Here are the four ways… 1) Visit OptOutPrescreen.com to stop receiving prescreened credit card and insurance offers (The website link is in our post). 2) The Data and Marketing Association sends out a lot of mail. You can go to their website and pay $2 to stop receiving mails from them for 10 years (link is in the post). You do have to register and mark which types of marketing you don’t want to receive, but it only takes a few minutes. Then you are all set for 10 years with no mails from them! You can also opt out of coupon packs from ValPak (Link is in the post). The Federal Trade Commission also provides a detailed guide for stopping a whole host of unsolicited mail.
