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.

What bugs me is charities that send out stacks of free self-adhesive
return address labels. These are charities I've never given money to.
Unless I move I'll never have to buy self-adhesive return address
labels, ever. How much money do they waste every year on those stupid
things?
