  I used to do that, back in the 90s in college. First I just put tons of trash paper in business-reply envelopes and drop them in the mail, then I started filling them up with gravel. Years later, on the internet, I remember seeing some article about people doing this, and they had pictures of things like business-reply envelopes attached to bricks, which the USPS had received. IIRC, they said that the USPS didn't actually send these or charge the business for them, unfortunately. So stick with just dropping them in the mail as-is, to make sure the business gets charged for it.

    One time, back in the 80s, American Express had some kind of disagreement with the union that my step-father belonged to and the members of his union went out and every time they'd see the American Express credit card applications, they'd take them all and send them back in blank. They had been told that each application cost a dollar to have mailed and processed. I was a child so I never cared enough to ask about the details of the dispute and I don't know how long they did this, only that they did.
