Creative Ways To Re-Use Junk Mail

Even if you unsubscribe to junk mail it can still come addressed to The Owner, or Current Resident. Sure, it may go straight into the recycling pile, but there are other creative things that can be done with junk mail (sorry, “direct mail”).

ProQuo has a great article showing 10 creative responses to junk mail. They include sculptures, portraits, mulch, and… well check out ProQuo for the full list.

Are You Still Getting Junk Mail?

Most people I know and speak with have opted out of junk mail (aka direct mail) by using www.mpsonline.org.uk in the UK or http://www.greendimes.com or similar in the US).

However if you’re still getting junk mail, you can return them to sender with a nice new stamp on them – Return to Waster. Available for $11 from here I haven’t used the stamp personally, but apparently demand has been high. You get a nice 4″ x 1″ hand made wooden rubber stamp and a red ink pad.
