JECA has gone from 20-40 lbs. of junk mail per week, down to usually 1-2 lbs. per week by an act of simple persistence. Since September I have marked EVERY piece of unsolicited junk mail as “Refused” and returned it.
This picture shows the last two weeks’ worth.

Also, I didn’t place the irritation/extra burden on my carrier. I returned all items to the return boxes at a Post Office.
It’s a good idea, but it’s too far to my mailbox for me to bother. I have a mailbox where I can GET mail, but not mail it out. For that I have to walk a few streets over. I know it’s not THAT far, but to send all my junk mail away it would be.
