Junk mail

Say NO to junk mail!

Did you know you can reduce the unwanted mail sent to you?

If you act today you could see a huge reduction in the waste mail you have found yourself processing!

Here’s how:

• Deregister yourself at www.mpsonline.org.uk and within 3-6 months you should see a big difference in the amount of unwanted mail you receive through your door;
  
  
• To opt-out of unwanted items delivered by the postman, contact Royal Mail and ask them for a 'door to door opt-out form'. You can do this by emailing optout@royalmail.com or writing to:
  Freepost RRBT-ZBXB-TTTS
  Door to Door Opt Outs
  Royal Mail
  Kingsmead House
  Oxpens Road

• Use the prepaid envelope that the company sent - return contents asking to be taken off their mailing list;
  
  
• Call the company that sent you the junk mail and ask for your name and address to be removed from their mailing list; Only ring them up if they use a free telephone or local rate number;
  
  
• Select the option to not have your name shown on the public copy of the electoral role, which is sold to mailing firms;
  
  
• Always check the small print on forms. Some forms ask you to tick the box to receive offers from the company’s affiliates and some ask you to tick to not receive details;
  
  
• Be careful who you provide your details to! Ask the company you are buying from not to share your details with other organisations.
