If you live in the United States and want to reduce or eliminate your unwanted mail there are two websites that will do all the legwork:
Catalog Choice is a free service where you enter your details and select the catalogues you no longer want to receive and they will contact the marketer for you and ask them to take your details off their list. It is a project of the Ecology Center in the US.
41 Pounds is named after the amount of junk mail an American apparently recieves in a year (around 20kg for the metrically minded). It does much the same thing as Catalog Choice but I think attacks more marketers and charges a $41 fee for a five year service. They donate a third of the fee to community and environmental projects.
My next post will be advice on how you can stop unsolicited junk mail.
