I take the effort of marking them "return to sender" and throwing them in a mailbox for outbound mail. I don't know if they actually get sent back, but my hope is that if the important mail gets sent back the org that sent it will try and find their new address.
- heretogetout 4y agoI've been tempted to buy a rubber stamp with "return to sender" or "not at this address" or whatever. I don't relish the thought of spending money to deal with other people's problems, though. In any case after a few years I just toss their mail in the trash, junk or otherwise. If they don't care to file change of address forms then I don't care either. I don't think this is technically legal, though.
- astrange 4y agoIf it’s second class mail (has a long barcode on it) that does nothing, but it’s also safe to throw away.
- colejohnson66 4y agoIsn’t throwing it away a federal crime?
- astrange 4y agoThey don't care about bulk mail, if you try to return it it'll just be destroyed anyway. If it's not addressed to you at all then you should probably return it of course.
