Junk Mail Reduction

About 21 billion items of unwanted junk mail, excluding free newspapers, are sent every year in the UK.

This is 550,000 tonnes of waste!

This includes:

  • direct mail - advertising messages individually addressed;
  • door to door - unaddressed advertisements posted by hand;
  • inserts - advertising material in magazines and newspapers.

Many Rotherham householders who prefer not to receive such mail can register with the Mailing Preference Service (MPS). The MPS can effectively reduce up to 95% of junk mail by removing names and addresses from direct mail links.

Stickers are also available that can be placed by householders on their door or letter box to discourage leaflets, free newspapers or un-addressed mail being delivered.

Visit the This is an external link icon. Mailing Preference Service and register online.

If you would like a door sticker stating No Junk Mail or No Junk Mail and Free Newspapers, or further information contact the Recycling Helpline on 01709 336033 or email recycling@rotherham.gov.uk
