Junk Mail getting you down?

Nearly 50,000 tonnes of junk mail hits Devon’s doormats every single year. But you can stop it landing on yours.

Any Junk mail you do get, please remember that all paper can be recycled in your household waste collection. Find out what your district can recycle here.

The MPS can remove your name from up to 95% of Direct Mail lists and is supported by the Royal Mail. It will not stop mail that has been sent from overseas, un-addressed material or mail addressed to “The Occupier”. It may take up to 4 months for the service to have full effect.

Say No to Junk Mail Without an Address

Register with the Royal Mail’s Door to Door Opt Out Service by contacting them via email optout@royalmail.com or by post:

Freepost,
RSTR-YCYS-TGLJ,
Royal Mail Door to Door Opt Outs,
Kingsmead House,
Oxpens Road,
OXFORD, OX1 1AA.

The Royal Mail will send you a registration form to fill in and return to them. Opting out from Royal Mail Door to Door stops all unaddressed items from being delivered by them. Election material is not delivered by the Door to Door service and is therefore not affected by this opt out. Opting out means no one at the address will receive unaddressed mail items so make sure this is acceptable to everyone living at the property.

Say ‘NO’ to flyers and Circulars

Plus, don’t forget to tick the box

Many forms contain an option to opt out of further marketing. If you sign any form, check for the box.

Is there an easier way?

If you only receive junk mail from one or two companies, contact them directly.
