For those who dont want junk mail, then you can help save the environment by choosing not to receive them with this free sticker.

Globally, it is estimated that 100 million trees are harvested to produce junk mail each year. In Australia, 8.2 billion articles of junk mail are produced every year, along with over 650 million articles of addressed promotional mail.

Most of this mail is never read.

    aww, try looking at the glass as "half full", free junk mail=free tissue paper/cat litter box paper/birdcage lining/toilet paper(?)/car grease and oil cleanup paper, etc! who needs expensive handy-wipes when you have a mountain of junkmail?

    Save yourself the phone call:

    "The DSB offers their own standard No Advertising Material sticker for free if you send a stamped self-addressed envelope to DSB Sticker, PO Box 7735 St Kilda Road Melbourne VIC 8004."

    • Wally on 01/11/2014 - 21:51

      phone call is cheaper .. than 2x 70c stamps, let alone the cost (& paper used) of the envelopes!

      • bgazer on 02/11/2014 - 02:44
        +2

        A phone call is not cheaper if the information they offer turns out to be what I quoted above, about sending a stamped self-addressed envelope to DSB.

      f***, we have to make a phone call or send some snail mail? I cbs with that.

      so waste more paper (2 envelopes) to stop junk mail? Half the time those signs are ignored anyways

  • BigBarbieBanger on 01/11/2014 - 20:24

    Trees? They grow on trees. Perhaps if we made the slightest alteration we would get more action?

    It is estimated that 100 million trees, half a dozen koalas, three kittens and a dolphin are harvested to produce junk mail each year.

  • voteoften on 01/11/2014 - 21:12

    Buy a proper metal one at bunnings.

  • iamtotoro on 01/11/2014 - 21:13

    But what about the Hungry Jack vocuhers!!

    • JigBew on 02/11/2014 - 11:52

      Most places you can just say you have the voucher and they dont ask to take it. I stopped bothing with having them in the car a long time ago.

    As if the people putting junk in your mail box actually care if there's a sticker lol.

    • cpho on 01/11/2014 - 22:47

      They have to. You can report them if they ignore the sticker.
      Very similar to the Do Not Knock stickers, and the Do Not Call Register

      • ChickenTalon on 02/11/2014 - 01:36

        Not similar at all, at least in NSW, there no law to stop people putting junk mail in your letterbox. I wish there was. I have a sign and it is ignored all the time by fast food places, estate agents and painters ( I live near a paint store, I bet the apprentices have to stuff the shit in letterboxes around the neighborhood while the boss buys the paint). If I go away for a week my mailbox is full by day 4.

        Big problem if you live in a highly populated area in a unit

        It's only against the voluntary code of practice.

      Yeah I thought the same but we now get no junk mail, it didn't stop immediately but it only took about a month, we now only get junk mail from the postie.

    • goraygo on 02/11/2014 - 08:45

      Yeah. We had the same problem. Put the sticker on and worked for about a month or so, then the dunk mail comes back big time!!! :(

      I saw those people drove around dropping advertisement didn't really care whether you have the sticker on or not. They just want to spam is! :(

  • neonlight on 01/11/2014 - 22:48

    Doesn't seem to help with real estate agents dropping stuff in your mailbox. They don't think their ones are junk mail

    I'd like to get a "No Monthly Bills" sticker on my mailbox.

    • mily on 02/11/2014 - 07:43

      Quarterly and yearly bills are as bad, if not worse.

    • skinny on 02/11/2014 - 10:01

      No BILLS would be better!

    Nine months ago, I got a piece of paper and wrote "No Junk Mail" on it. Then I affixed it to my mailbox. DIY is the fastest option and it's free!

    Just another example of how wasteful and inefficient capitalism is. If we had a truly socialist economy, we would not have to worry about overpaid parasites with marketing degrees constantly inundating us with junkmail, electonic spam, excessively loud TV & radio ads, skyscraper web pages ads and so on. I laugh at the idiots who think environmentalism and capitalism are compatible.

    The aim of capitalism is to manipulate people into desiring the things the capitalists wants them to desire, and keep them from looking inwards (introspecting) to discover what is really beneficial to them. Vive la revolution.

    • tommy-darko on 02/11/2014 - 14:59

      The sad fact is that society as a whole values money more than it does the earth, nature and the environment even though without it we cannot survive. Eventually the earth will bite back, whipe us parasites out (either through plague or natural disaster) and restore the balance to the eco system and we will only have ourselves to blame for failing to change our careless, greed fueled ways.

  • BargainCowboy on 02/11/2014 - 07:45

    I have a "do not call" sticker on my phone… but Telstra keeps on calling…

  • Mosher on 02/11/2014 - 08:08

    I love my junk mail (exept when they put jewerly ones in thjere for the missus to see)

    When we have finished with it we allways put it in the recycle bin

  • robb6014 on 02/11/2014 - 09:24

    Junk mail is best mail
