Stop Your Junk Mail

Recycling Junk Mail

I'm trying to figure out a good way to reuse junk mail. Some of it has sensitive information (name, address, more), so shredding is obviously a good first step. But then what? There's too much plastic and gloss ink to compost, and it's not recyclable all together.

You get a LOT more junk mail if you ever start a business, so I was thinking of using it as a recycled packing material. Any thoughts? Would you dislike receiving your item packed in someone else's junk mail, or would you appreciate the reuse?

Argh! Junk mail! I hated all the crud that used to fill my mailbox every day! I don't need another credit card, I'm happy with my car insurance, and I already get enough catalogs from companies I actually patronize. On top of it, 4 million tons of junk mail are produced yearly, 100 million trees destroyed and $320 million of local taxes are used to dispose of this unsolicited mail that’s trying to sell you stuff you don’t want. Enough!
