Did you know that it’s possible to opt out of junk mail deliveries? You need to visit a few different websites, but in just a few minutes you’ll be able to tame the influx of wasteful mail you get on a daily basis. Where you need to go: OptOutPreScreen.com allows you to opt out of firm offers from credit card and insurance companies. Sign up on this website and the four major credit reporting companies will take you off their list for at least five years. Dmachoice.org is a more in-depth site that allows you to specify what mailings you wish to stop. Categories include catalogs, magazines and “other” mail offers. You can do a broad sweep or eliminate individual companies. Visit Valassis.com and click on “contact us” to stop receiving coupon inserts that come from this direct mail company. To request removal of your contact information from Acxiom’s Marketing Information products, you’ll need to submit your information through their online form and they’ll mail you an Opt-Out Request form. Finally, CatalogChoice.org will help you to eliminate unwanted catalogs. Just register online, check off catalogs and this non-profit org will contact the respective companies.
