Each year every household in the UK receives unwanted junk mail from all sorts of businesses and organisations.
Much of it should go into your recycling bin, but some still ends-up in landfill sites.
Fortunately, if junk mail is a problem for you, there is something you can do about it, online, right now – you can sign up to the ‘Mail Preference Service’ which stops junk mail being sent out in the first place.
This is good news for recipients and helping reduce CO2 emissions on the environment from the printing process to delivering the mail to your door. It will, in the long term, be better on your pocket as well, as it can reduce the cost of recycling of the unwanted mail.
To sign-up for the service, which costs nothing, head over to http://www.mpsonline.co.uk/.
It’s worth noting though the service requires renewal every five years. You can also request the removal of names from mailing lists for people who previously lived at your address (hugely useful!).
