Recycling Unwanted Mail

Junk mail Unwanted mail can at present be recycled in the blue kerbside box or at paper banks situated locally at shopping centres.

Alternatively, you can cut down on the amount of unwanted mail you get in the first place:

Write to sender telling them you no longer wish to receive these marketing materials.
Register with the Mailing Preference Service. This can be done by either calling 0845 703 4599, visiting www.mpsonline.org.uk or writing to:

Mailing Preference Service
Freepost 29 LON 20771

This service can stop unwanted mail that is delivered to a named addressee at your address - whether this is to you or another named person. The service can stop up to 95% of mail of this type. It cannot however, stop mail from companies with whom you already have dealings, mail that is addressed to "the occupier," or mail that is not addressed. Please be aware that by using this method, it could result in you no longer receiving some mail that you may still wish to receive.
