  If any of the spam has a pre paid return envelope send some of that spam right back at them at their cost.

    Including the envelope it came in and every bit of paper too!

    Hell the poster may want to slide a few junk mail pieces that didn’t have a SASE with them into the ones that did just to get rid of them as well!

    We should organize a week to mail shit back, so the spammers feel the pain.

  I’ve done all of these and now get minimal junk mail in the letter box.

  • Contact your municipality and explain the situation and ask for their advice.
  • Contact the people delivering the mail and ask them for advice.
  • Contact your local gardening centre and ask them if they want paper for composting.
  • Put up a no junk mail sign, then contact the companies who are still arriving in your letter box and share your thoughts about their uninvited junk mail. In Australia the last mile delivery of junk mail is often done by one or two companies who don’t want to get a bad name for ignoring your sign.

  You could return to sender what has addresses. And just return the junk that does not by dumping it in a blue drop off box, if you have one in your town.

  Or do what others do, syphon off one tied off grocery bag of trash at a time each time you go to the gas station.

  Or, fire pit.

  Sounds like you need a fire pit.

    Burning garbage is illegal in Georgia in certain areas including my own. Plus, that’s not even remotely environmentally friendly, because there’s lots of ink and plastics. I’m truly at a loss. The only thing I could possibly think of is getting an industrial paper shredder for like $200 and just throwing everything in that

      Nobody is going to give you shit for putting you mail into a patio fire pit.

  Get some big shipping envelopes, fill each one with as much junk mail as it will hold, mail them back to whichever companies send you the most junk mail. It works even better if any of the junk mail came with a prepaid return envelope.

    I’m not sure I understand how this works? So you just cram everything into the junk mail envelope and that’s it?

  Just a thought: pellet-making.com/…/paper-pellet-machine.html

  • voracitude@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The equipment for making paper pellets includes hammer mill, dryer, pellet making machine, pellet cooler and pellet packing machine. For small-scale production, the dryer, pellet cooler and packer are optional.

    So convenient!

  Get a compactor?

  You can call the places sending you junk and ask to be removed from their mailing lists.

    This works to some extent. I have a house that used to be a rental.

    I had one lady tell me she couldn’t take MY HOUSE off their list because I am not the guy who signed up for the mail. Even though that guy hasn’t lived here in years.

    Someone else used this address for a business… After they no longer even lived here. So I had to take that up with the state and got their business license revoked.
