The USPS can not, by law, dispose of mail that is deliverable as addressed. They are paid to deliver it, and MUST deliver it. There is no legal way that THEY can allow you to "opt out", but you CAN contact these companies directly and remove yourself from these lists. You can also contact the Direct Marketing Association. Being angry at the USPS is counterproductive. Take your vengeance out on the real culprits, the ones who generate and pay to mail these solicitations.
You're right... but.. BETTER YET: Put a rock inside the pre-paid envelopes (usually with credit card offers) and sent it to them. That way, the sender of the junk mail has to pay postage due / surcharge! If enough of us do that... they will stop it.
Your returned "junk" mail (bulk rate advertising mail) is disposed of. It is not returned to the senders, who actually PAID for a service. The USPS does not generate this mail, but are obliged to deliver it, in the same way they are obliged to deliver your checks or bills. If someone paid to have a mailpiece delivered to you, it is the business of the USPS to deliver it. The USPS is not resposnsible for removing your name from these mailing lists. That is up to you.
Wrong. The P.O. forces us to take mail delivered to "current resident", "postal patron", "customer", "our friends at.." and so on. This, the USPS should give us an option to opt out of that, but they do not.
