Default ideas for reducing your junk mail

There are a few things you can do to reduce the amount of junk you receive,

Firstly check the electoral register and make sure that you not on the register that can be used for commercial purposes, I think that the people in the library can point you in the right direction to make sure you are on the right one

Also check your listing in the phone book and make sure you are on the 'no direct marketing' list, your phone provider can sort this out for you,

Also some companies that operate loyalty schemes, eg dunnes, tesco have options that you can select that mean you just receive your vouchers and not all the leaflets that come with

and then theres the basic ones, if you enter a competition make sure you always tick the box that says you do not wish to have your details passed on...

This should avoid junk mail that is directed at you, the generic stuff is more difficult, you could put up a no junk mail sign on your letterbox. (the one that Betty just suggested) I luckily avoid this problem because I live in the back of beyond and I have a v grumpy Jack Russell!!

Good luck
