Opt out mailing

Opting out of mailing lists or unwanted mail can be a great way to reduce clutter and minimize your exposure to unwanted solicitations. Here are some steps you can take to opt out of mailing lists:

  1. National Do Not Mail List: The National Do Not Mail List is a free service provided by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) that allows you to opt out of receiving unsolicited mail. You can sign up online or call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688).
  2. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): The FTC also provides a service called the National Do Not Call Registry, which allows you to opt out of receiving telemarketing calls. While this service doesn't specifically cover mail, you can also report unwanted mail to the FTC.
  3. Contact the sender: If you receive unwanted mail from a specific company or organization, you can contact them directly to request that they remove your name from their mailing list. Look for a contact email address or phone number on the mailing piece.
  4. Use online opt-out tools: Many companies provide online opt-out tools on their websites. Look for a link that says "Opt Out" or "Remove My Name" and follow the instructions.
  5. Register with the Direct Marketing Association (DMA): The DMA is a trade association that represents the direct marketing industry. You can register with them to opt out of receiving mail from their member companies.
  6. Check with your local post office: Your local post office may have a list of companies that are prohibited from sending mail to your address. You can ask them if they have such a list and if you can be added to it.
