Anything that shows up in my mailbox out front who I don't know who its from or its obvious junk, I use a black marker to scribble out any bar codes on it, then glue a return to sender label over my address.
[bar code is read by computer, has to be blacked out so they have to open the mail to see who sent it back.]
I just print a bunch of these out on crap paper then wood glue them on the mail, so it can't be removed, so they have to open the junk mail.
And the post office makes money on the return shipping charges.

I got so fed up with it one time I got a box, bout 12 X 12 x 8 inches high. Threw all the junk mail in there for about five or six weeks.
Then it was fun time, I got it out, sat right in the middle of the living room floor and started sorting...
Lets see, solicitation of donations from the holy rollers church of BFE,... ok,.... here's a Playboy subscription for you...
Next, Buy our magazines and get three years, for 12.95... ok... hmmm, how about an ad for you to buy this water softner,...
Next, American Red Cross,
long story I will not into right now, but they are not nor will they ever be on any of my donate to list... ... hmmmm, ok, State Troopers Association renewel...
Etc...................
I walked into the post office the next day, and sent at least 20-30 lb's of crap right back to them all... Didn't cost me anything but time and I was laughing through most of it.
