Sick and tired of companies polluting your mailbox with direct mail? Since it’s convenient to order anything from clothing to an iPod with the click of a mouse, get off direct mail lists for good. Websites such as Catalog Choice.com make it easy for you.
Get junk mail at work? Contact businesses or associations VIA websites or call them to request to be taken off lists. While it make take a few minutes to complete your request, you’ll save time sorting through mail before placing in the ‘recycle bin.’

Julie, this is a great resource. I’ve been trying to find ways to get off these lists since the junk mail I get just clogs up my mailbox and then goes right in the trash. I always feel like it’s such a waste because I never look at any of it! Really great tip.
Thanks Bridget! Make sure to keep track of your ‘junk mail’ since you have to identify businesses sending the mail through Catalogchoice.com. There are other service (you have to pay) that will get rid of alll names if you’re looking for a faster solution.!
