How to Send Junk Mail Back
According to EcoCycle.org, an average person spends eight months of their life taking care of junk mail. Instead of wasting time with all of it, try sending it back to the company it came from. Sending it back may reduce the amount you receive in the future. Junk mail comes in many forms: fliers, credit card offers, mortgage companies, loans and more. Sending back the junk mail shows the company you don't want to be bothered.
