With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

    https://www.dmachoice.org/register.php

    In the US, you can register here to “reduce promotional mail offers from companies or organizations you don’t have a business relationship with.” It costs $4 ($5 if you opt to mail in a form instead of filling out the online form), but it registers you for 10 years.

    I did this about 7 years ago and I haven’t seen any junk mail since. I added my wife’s name under the “add another version of your name” section (you can have 5 alternate names listed) and junk mail to her stopped too.
