Letter: Junk free

Published 24 October 1998

From Phil Gibbs

On the subject of wasted resources and junk mail, you say: “In the US, the Direct Mail Association can help you get your name off a lot of lists at one go. Elsewhere you may need more patience” (Editorial, 29 August, p 3).

In Britain, we have the Mailing Preference Service. I have found it to be very effective in stopping junk mail being sent to my home. For an application form write to FREEPOST 22, London, W1E 7EZ.
