When you get junk mail....and they in close a prepaid envelope....seal that envelope  up empty and mail it back.  The post a Office makes a few cents which can add up  to a nice sum if enough people do this.    I have been doing this for a long time...

I know people do this but sending the envelope back empty will not stop you from receiving mail from that company.

Better to send it back with a request to be removed from their mailing list.

Somebody here posted a way to get rid of unsolicited mail a long time ago-maybe somebody else knows.

@Cakers3   I like that junk mail comes as it helps the Post office. Then sending the enclosed pre paid envelope in also a way to give the PO more money.  It is not to stop getting junk mail.  Junk mail helps the Post office.

Really? Where did you hear this? It sounds in the order of "money in the cookie jar".

@Cakers3   I got rid of all credit card offers by taking the return portion and writing "remove from your mailing list" on it and returning in the postage paid envelope.  I haven't gotten any for years now.

@SeaMaiden   Junk mail is perceived in various ways but my biggest issue with junk mail is the waste of paper; it is about the environment for me.

If you are comfortable receiving junk mail, then you do you.
