Opt out of receiving junk mail in Australia
Jun 13, 2008 in Distribution
Lifehacker Australia posted in December about the situation in Australia with junk mail. They can’t stop newspapers either, but Advertising Material is covered:
The Australian Catalogue Association has a code of conduct saying members and their deliverers will not deliver materials to addresses displaying a “No Advertising Material” sign. This appears to be a voluntary code of conduct, but there’s a fairly long list of companies signed up to abide by it. The signees also agree not to litter or deliver when the mailbox is overflowing!
You can contact the Distribution Standards Board to add your address to the “do not deliver” list. They’ll also provide you with a free reflective No Advertising Material sticker. … Note that this won’t stop all unsolicited mail - newspapers are exempted, along with political pamphlets.
