Reducing Junk Mail


Return to Sender Labels

Reducing Junk Mail is an important contribution to waste reduction at source. The first step is to register yourself with the Mailing preference Service at
The Mailing Preference Service

However, this does not eliminate some blanket mailshots, and mailings from organisations that you once subscribed to, or ones that your address has been passed on to, which arrive with annoying regularity to be glanced at then put into the Council's recycling box. From the environment's point of view, it would be far better if the junk mail item had not been manufactured and transported to your door. To combat and reduce this, the Forum have designed a template of "Return to Sender" sticky labels. These should be stuck on the item (usually in a transparent plastic wrap) as shown, hiding your address but not any mailing reference number, and with the arrow pointing at the "if undelivered" address if possible. The item can then be posted, free of charge. To obtain your supply of the sticky labels, please click on this link to the template, and print to A4 sticky label stationery, seven rows of three 63x38mm labels, i.e. 21 labels per sheet.
