Junk mail that has a postage paid return envelope can be use to make the same request. The company sending out the original mail has to pay for that postage paid envelope, not you. I've used both methods numerous times and it's amazing doing these two things can really cut down on that garbage.


That's exactly what I do... got rid of all those fercocktah Cruise
catalogs... they spend a fortune on those slick mags, and they send a
bunch every week. If they didn't send so many a cruise would cost
half as much.
