The plastic bag that the Kohl's flyers come in has a phone number. I called the number and asked for my house to be put on the skip list, a lady took my name and address and said I will not receive them anymore.
Thats was easy, let's see if it works. Robin.

as much as I hate getting flyers, that's kind of a douchey move.

The city of Jersey City used to have them try the J.C.I.A. or the Mayor's Office.

I think there is a way to request the Kohl's junk mail, at least, from being deposited on your doostep. I see the Kohl's lady walking my blocks and she has a list she consults and will skip some houses.
Does anyone know how to get added to this list? Robin.

It's true about the city ordinance it must be listed. The city has been fighting for sometime now but the freedom of speech act has put a wrench in the works. If it is the bag of flyers you are concerned about there is a phone number on the bag call it and have you name taken off their data base list. Kind of like the phone book it actually cost money (per month) to have your name removed from the phone book listing. When I try to alert the deliver guys not to drop off their advertising from individual businesses they respond in foreign tounge and play dumb. The best way is to go to the buisness and raise hell. I knew someone who ordered a meal and walked out without paying then when confronted threw back the order at the owner, with the flyers included.

Unfortunately all these anti junk and spam laws are toothless. There was a lull in junk calls a few years back after the registries were created, but now it's back to full force. I've always had the door sticker and it stops nothing.

yes to an extant you can stop junk mail http://www.dmachoice.org
i consider any mail without my name on it or any mail that i did not request to receive to not be my responsibility. i honestly don't care what the law is... i didnt ask for it and it's not coming in my apartment or going in my garbage or becoming my problem. i won't go out of my way trying to prevent delivery either. the person responsible is whoever created it and sent it to me without my permission. to me, these coupons and flyers are just unwanted invitations to consume more things i dont want or need. how are we going to become a sustainable society if we continue to allow junk mail?

The junk mail pays the salary of your postal carrier.
I found some useful coupons in the junk mail. I used several coupons at the Hudson Greene Market. There were also coupons for the Downtown Pharmacy, but I kept forgetting to use them.

If the postage is paid, the carrier must deliver.

Why take it out on the mail man? He's just doing his job. There's no way to stop that mail you consider "junk" from reaching you that I know about. Will post office stop all mail delivered to "occupant" at your address? What if it has your name on it? Anyone know? Whatever's in your vestibule or doorway is your responsibility to throw away by either your condo board or if outside and winds up in front of your place by ordinannce.

such a waste of paper. i signed up on a website somewhere to stop junk mail and credit card offers. it worked except for the junk from local businesses, which i will keep throwing on the floor until my mail carrier gets the point and stops putting it in my box.

I love them junk flyer packets! They always have the coupons & slaes circulars in there.
Nice sign but where can I get a sign to stop the dog poop & get the people 2 clean up after their dogs?

Our building has what looks to be the "official" sign up on the front door, but that doesn't stop anyone from throwing stacks of menus, coupons, etc. into our entry hall.
Short of driving to those business and throwing them back in their front doors, what's the proper course of action?

That doesn't have the city ordinance on it, and therefor is invalid.

Where does one buy those stickers I see on smart owners' doors that prohibit dropping junk mail?
Thanks.
