The complete guide to stopping junk mail
41 pounds of paper. Sent to your home every year. Uninvited. Here's everything you need to stop it: free opt-out tools, data removal guides, and four tools we built to make it effortless.
Start with the Opt-Out Kit if you're new. Use the Identifier when a specific mailer keeps showing up. Use the Letter Generator before you stuff a BRM envelope. Run the Savings Calculator and share it.

Generate a formatted opt-out demand letter to stuff inside their prepaid Business Reply Mail envelope. They pay the postage. You file the opt-out. Pick your tone: professional, firm, or maximum spite.
