does australia not have "return to sender"? That seems to work well for the little amount of junk mail that I get.

  How does that work? As in, you return it to the sender, as a request for unsubscribing? If that's the case I don't think it would work because the postman doesn't care which box he's dumping the ads in.

    you write "Return to Sender" on the outside of the envelope and stick it back in the mailbox (really). or, if you live in a complex with a separate outgoing mailbox, then put it there.

  Some junk mail (in the UK) is addressed to a real person at a real address. Some is addressed to "The Occupier". Some is just unaddressed leaflets. You can opt out (over here) but it's not as easy as it could be. Keeping a recycling bin by the door relieves some guilt I feel about trashing so much stuff. I wish they'd use more eco-friendly paper - recycled, not glossy, better inks, etc. There have been people who've collected all their junk mail over a year. Perhaps we need to see the results for some streets to be shocked at the sheer quantity. Or maybe some international comparisons?
