I have this problem. 99% of my snail mail (by weight) goes straight into the recycling bin. To really make you cry, I live on an outer Hawaii island - so not only the trees died for no reason, but large amounts of fuel was consumed to bring this junk here, just so it can be shipped back as recycling. I was actually desperate enough to pay a service that promised to stop junk mail. It didn't really work - a lot of my junk mail did not come from sources they knew about, it was too much effort to tell them about all the sources they didn't know about, in some cases the sources actually refused to stop the junk mail without a WRITTEN request and in some cases they refused outright to stop it at all (because I get my snail mail at work, and other people also there happened to get their catalogues). The only plan that I think would really work is to get a new address (a PO box), tell the USPS to not do any bulk mail forward - and in fact, if your source of real snail mail is actually small enough, tell USPS not to do any forwarding of mail at all - and just tell the few people that really have to send you snail mail your new address. I don't know what happens to the undelivered bulk mail - I'd like to think the sender eventually gets the idea and stop sending it - but at least it will no longer be your problem.
