Stop Junk Mail
Every time you order something online, fill out a warranty card, or join a club, your personal information is collected and sold to marketers who will flood your mailbox with offers, wasting paper as well as your time. To stop junk mail, start by contacting the Mail Preference Service to request that your contact information be removed from lists run by The Direct Marketing Association (a trade group of marketing companies.) Removing your information from this mailing list will cost $1 but it will also help to stop junk mail for up to five years. This can be done online at: http://www.dmaconsumers.org/offmailinglist.html, or by sending a postcard or letter to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
PO Box 643
Carmel, NY 15012-0643
Credit card offers are another big source of junk mail. You can call 1-888-5 OPT OUT (or 1-888-567-8688) 24 hours a day to stop any and all unsolicited credit card offers from coming your way.

You can sign do not mail petition(like Do Not Call National Petition).
I did some search online and this is the best resource so far available online ( correct me if I am wrong).
I have done this 5 months ago and my mailbox is literally empty.
I check my mail twice a month now. I even took the letter from samples provided and wrote it to a local Chinese restaurant that keeps putting fliers in my door. They stopped in the whole subdivision.
