I wonder what it would take to create private sort centers:
- slap “refused — return to sender” stickers on all the junk and drop it in bins for USPS
- bundle your actual mail and deliver it
- hedora 5y agoOohhh. This could be done without postal service cooperation. Just stamp all the junk mail, and put it in a curbside bin. Once a month, a service pickes it up, then leaves a dumpster of spam next to the local USPS mail drop. (Or shovels it over the counter at the post office.) Also, provide a list of houses subscribed to the service to the USPS. The ball's in their court now!
- zmgsabst 5y agoI don’t think you’d need more than regular business service: - postal worker comes every day, with pre-sorted bins and leaves with outgoing bins; businesses already do this. - first you re-sort the pre-sorted personal mail to remove spam, preserving the post office sort to keep it by customer - then you sort all the removed junk by sender you’re returning to — and when your next mail arrives, you give the USPS worker the pre-sorted outbound mail of returned junk - keep a Instagram of your piles of returned junk mail, every day This already happens with, eg, university or large office mailrooms. So you’re not asking anything new if USPS to make it work.
- mrb 5y agoI have a PMB (I've tried https://virtualpostmail.com/ https://virtualpostmail.com/ and https://earthclassmail.com/ https://earthclassmail.com/) and never receive any junk mail. They either scan your mail to PDF, or bundle it and forward it to another address like your home. For some reason which I don't understand, marketers don't send junk mail to PMBs.
