Junk Mail

[smithjcsdfw]

What do you do with your Junk Mail?  In our community we have a paper recycling program so I just throw them in the box and when the box is full I haul them down to the recycle bin at the grade school.

Yo. Recycler here. Life would be so much simpler without junk mail and telemarketing phone calls. Donchathink??

A lot of the time if they send a prepaid envelope with it  i tear my name off the paperwork and just send it back. Helps the postoffice out and they have to pay the postage on it. The rest i either throw in the fire or shred it. I don't care for much litter.

That is a great idea! I wonder if the city where I live would be interested in a program like that. I throw my junk mail in the trash. Recycling all that extra paper would be a great way to save our enviroment. I use the comics out of the paper to wrap gifts for kids. After-all it's just going to get shredded to pieces anyhow.

I too recycle it, but first I remove my contact information from it.  If the bits I remove are paper (not plastic) I'll burn them in my grill otherwise I shred them.  If there's a prepaid envelope I'll stuff everything into it, after writing on it to tell them to remove me from their lists, then send it back to them.  I learned that trick several years ago and my junk mail is all but gone.

Where I used to live we recycled mail, but where I live now we just throw it in the trash.  Recycling makes more sense and does help save trees.

I just throw in a recycle bin. I've been doing this for many years and just has been routine. I don't let Junk mail bother me as much anymore.

We recycle too so all that junk mail and flyers from stores go into the recycle bin. When I think about all that we recycle and realize it used to go into the land fills it's really scary.

I compost it if I can and recycle the rest. After I get my name and address off.

Shred it and put it in the compost pile.

Our post office has a large trash can and a table for sorting mail.  I always go through my mail right after taking it out of the box and dispose of junk mail right there, unless there is some identifying information included in the contents.
