HomeNo junk mail
Unwanted junk mail is a big problem. It creates extra waste which goes to landfill. To produce one tonne of junk mail 17 trees, 7000 gallons of water and 390 gallons of oil are used.Many people are now requesting that they don't receive junk mail. A simple way to help reduce the number of flyers which come through your door is to simply put up a sign saying 'no junk mail'.

It is free to join and your name will be removed from 95 per cent of direct mail lists and stop most unsolicited marketing materials addressed personally to your home address. The process takes about four weeks to take effect.You can register for the mail preference service by calling: 0845 7034 599.
