About the Do Not Mail Campaign

Junk mail wastes our time, destroys the environment, and invades our privacy: that’s why the Do Not Mail campaign is helping you take back your mailbox! With your help, we’re transforming the annoying, wasteful and destructive practices of the junk mail industry.

If you’re sick of unwanted credit offers, catalogs, coupons, and other junk mail, then take back your mailbox – join the Do Not Mail campaign.

Tell corporate junk mailers to stop invading your privacy and destroying the environment

When a junk mailer refuses to listen to the 90% of Americans who don’t want junk mail, we turn up the volume — through protests, innovative online activity, advertisements, and a compelling arsenal of facts and statistics.

And when that company is ready to step up to reduce their impact on the environment and respect your personal privacy, we’ll be ready to help them implement sound policies. That’s what our Market Solutions department does best.

We’ve already transformed the environmental practices of Fortune 500 companies including Dell, Staples, Victoria’s Secret, Williams-Sonoma, and many others. Now, we’re bringing our recipe for success to the entire junk mail industry.

You deserve to have the choice over what mail you receive

Our petition calling for a Do Not Mail Registry – similar to the National Do Not Call Registry –already has over 100,000 names. We’re building a case that our government and the direct mail industry cannot afford to ignore: we need an easy, comprehensive, and authoritative way to opt out of junk mail. 

In the meantime, you can use our opt-out tool to help reduce your junk mail. We also recognize several other third party opt-out services that may help you stop much of your junk mail. These tools can help, but what they lack is enforceability. While the government enforces Do Not Call, it’s currently up to the junk mailer whether or not to respect your request.
