If you want to stop leaflets but do want to receive free local newspapers they have a sticker saying ‘No Commercial Leaflets, Yes Free Newspapers’. The Stop Junk Mail campaign group sells two types of letterbox stickers. You can put a ‘no junk mail’ sign on your door to stop unaddressed unwanted mail delivered by local businesses. The ‘Your Choice’ opt out does not cover unaddressed mail that is not delivered by members of the DMA. To opt out you need to ask the DMA to post you an information pack and opt-out form.Īfter you return the opt-out form it will take 12 weeks before you stop receiving unwanted mail. The Your Choice Preference Scheme for Unaddressed Mail helps householders reduce unaddressed unwanted mail delivered by members of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA). However, this will not stop mail addressed to 'the occupier'. You can reduce the amount of 'unaddressed’ mail you receive by registering with the Royal Mail's door to door opt-out service. The Royal Mail Door to Door service delivers unaddressed mail, usually marketing material such as leaflets or brochures, on behalf of companies and organisations. There are various ways you can opt-out of unaddressed junk mail. Stopping mail that is not addressed to you include a reasonable date from which you want the organisation to stop processing your personal data (usually a period of 28 days).
