The Direct Marketing Association has a website where you can register and opt out of direct mail for a period of 3 years. The mailings don’t apply to non-profits or political campaigns but you’ll definitely get a lot less junk mail once you get your home address set up.
Besides direct mail marketing you can also get your name off of unsolicited credit card offers by going to this website: www.optoutprescreen.com. Thanks to my friend, Marcalyn, for a reminder of this site in an email I received earlier this week. By limiting these offers you can also help yourself limit the likelihood of identity theft.
