Say 'no' to junk mail

Useful hints and tips:

  • 'No' to further information: when you give your name and address to a company make sure you opt out of their mailing list and do not let them share your details with other companies 
  • Opt out of the edited register: when you fill out your electoral registration form make sure your details are not added to the 'edited voting register' which may be bought by companies for mailing purposes 
  • Return to sender: junk mail with a return address can be returned. Just write on the envelope 'unsolicited mail, return to sender' and pop it back in the post box 
  • No Junk Mail sticker: put a sticker in a prominent position on or near your front door to ensure maximum impact 
  • Contact the sender: if you continue to receive junk mail contact the company directly to ask them to stop, they are legally obliged to respect your request
