HUGE. 2) in most cases, opting out from receiving that kind of junk mail doesn't prevent it from being printed. it comes to the post office anyway, but then your mail carrier has to specifically remember to not deliver it to you in particular. then it gets thrown into a pile with other unimportant undeliverable mail and I have no idea where it goes from there. I hope the usps recycles. I'ma mail carrier. just figured I'd shed some light on this situation. 1) junk mail is pretty much what pays the salary for the mailman. it constitutes a huge percentage of the mail thats delivered.

However, his action has led people to think how useless and un-green junk mail is. Junk mail should be banned altogether.
