If that video does not convince you that you can get rid of junk mail by mailing it back, then maybe one of the following solutions will help you.


There are a few places to look for reducing the amount of junk mail you receive. One of those places is the
Direct Marketing Association (DMA) website. DMA claims that they represent nearly 3600 organizations involved in direct mailing. Registering for the website may be able to reduce your junk mail by making use of what they promise on their website. Included in this is the quote, "All DMA member companies must follow the DMA member guidelines, including honoring a consumer's request to be removed from future mailings." 
You can also try "opting out" of credit and insurance prescreening offers through the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry website
OptOutPrescreening.com
If you are really desperate, there are even sites where you can cough up money to get people to stop the junk mail for you. Stopthejunkmail.com offers a "100% guarantee" that you will be satisfied or you can request a refund; getting rid of your junk mail!
