Junk Mail. Tips to avoid junk mail box mail - Continued

What types of advertisements can you send back? Anything in an envelope addressed specifically to you. If you mark it Return to sender, Unknown person, or such, the post office is going to return that junk mail back to the sender. If enough of us did this, the advertisers might consider revamping their address lists!

One other way that you can start to take control over how much mail you get at your home is to switch to electronic format. You can have just about any type of bill delivered electronically and then you pay it electronically. This is going to cut back on the junk mail you get in your box and you never have to worry about someone taking your information because they are not going to find it in your garbage! 

Going paperless might sound easy but it does take a bit to get used to. Sometimes you can think you are forgetting something because the process is so entirely easy to follow. You can have your bills sent to your email, and you can use calendars on your desktop or through other programs to remind you what day of the months that certain bills are to be paid so you never forget, even if an email didn’t get delivered to you.
