With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

    In the US, you can register here to “reduce promotional mail offers from companies or organizations you don’t have a business relationship with.” It costs $4 ($5 if you opt to mail in a form instead of filling out the online form), but it registers you for 10 years.

    I did this about 7 years ago and I haven’t seen any junk mail since. I added my wife’s name under the “add another version of your name” section (you can have 5 alternate names listed) and junk mail to her stopped too.
