How Do You Stop Junk Postal Mail?
Many people find junk mail in their mailbox almost every day. Junk mail is usually thrown out before it is even opened. Junk mail is not just annoying; it is also a waste. It can take more than 100 million trees to create all the junk mail in the United States in one year. Junk mail also uses up as much energy as three million cars. You can end this waste by opting out of most junk mail. Take the time to become more eco-friendly and stop junk mail before it gets to your mailbox. Visit the Opt Out Prescreen website to opt out of pre-approved credit offers. You can choose to opt out online for five years or permanently through the mail. You will need your name, address, social security number and date of birth. Write a letter to the three major credit bureaus–Experian, TransUnion and Equifax–to let them know that you do not want any of your personal information to be shared with third parties. Include your name, address, social security number and date of birth in the letter. Join DMA
