Unwanted Mail

Unwanted mail can be a real pain; stop the nuisance and help reduce waste by following some of the tips on this page.
The Mailing Preference Service is a free service to enable customers to have their names and addresses removed from lists used by the direct mail industry. You can register by going online at:  http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/  
or calling 0845 703 4599

Leave mailing lists by informing companies that you do not want to receive information about other services and not to pass your details on to other companies.

  • Write "Unsolicited Mail. Please return to sender" on unwanted items and put them back in the post.
  • Try to reuse envelopes by sticking new labels over the address and recycling any other persistent unwanted mail.
  • If you can, opt for emails rather than post e.g. bills and bank statements.
