Re: [greenyes] Recycling bins at post offices

[Bob and Camille Armantrout <bobandcamille@no.address>]

Some of the post offices on Maui used to provide bins for recycling paper but recently cut them out of their budget.
 
The better alternative is to stop the junk mail at its source by contacting the mail preference service.  I collect the addresses from my junk mail and list them in a quarterly letter to as follows.  My junk mail has been greatly reduced.    

 

Mail Preference Service

Dear Sirs:

I understand that the MPS is designed to assist consumers who would like to receive less advertising mail at home.  Please register the following name(s) and address(es) with the name removal file so they will be removed from unsolicited mailing lists.  Thank you very much.
