to put a no junk mail sign on the door

[misdee]

as we get around 10 leaflets a week for takeaway places, cleaning firms and other things.

getting fed up of the paper mountain.

My neighbour has one - a metal one on her letterbox, works wonders!

Do you really think this is an unreasonable thing to do?!

my fil has one that says no free papers or junk mail.

I like my free papers..hate the junk though so yanbu.

Don't think it'll stop the postman's junk.

I think say "no leaflets thanks" rather than calling it junk mail. I have a piece of paper on my door saying "no free newspapers thanks" as otherwise get 4 a week with loads and loads of leaflets. I'm glad I put it htere.

Not unreasonable at all. We have one and so does everyone on our street. They are only 80% effective though, some just ignore them.

cod, its just waste paper. i just pick it up and put it straight in the recycling box.

and yes i live in an warden assisted bungalow, so am almost an old man

Agree with artichokes - works for 80% of junk mail. Had to call up the local throw away paper, doesn't work if junk mail comes with post.

But I'm turning into one of those scary crazy ladies that chases junk mail people down the street...

I sometimes get home from work adn can't open the front door because there are so may take away menus shoved through the letter box. that's how bad it is chez moi. YANBU.

We get about 4 clothing collection leaflets a week. Not the charity ones with the bags just ones claiming to be charities who are no doubt going to sell them on ebay or something. In our house like yours they come straight off the hall floor into the recycle bins.

Put a sign on the door saying 'free newspapers and leaflets in here please' with an arrow pointing to a recycling bin.

You will find, to your amusement, that people put stuff in there instead of your letterbox.

Everybody wins.
Apart from the trees, man.

Royal Mail opt-out stops the 'to the occupier' type junk mail that the postie delivers.

YANBU we have one and it says no sales calls too.
We were getting around 4 takeaway menus PER DAY!
We put the sign up a couple of weeks ago and have only had two put through since-the second time i went out after the guy and gave him it back and pointed out the sign

we get so many takeaway menues through the door I am amazed all these takeaways can possibly keep going.

The free newspaper is handy as I use it to line the rabbit hutch.
