Unwanted Mail/Faxes
The average household receives 650 pieces of unwanted mail each year. This is
not only annoying, but also uses up valuable resources.
There are four main ways to reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive:
1. Contact the sender e.g. a mail order catalogue or your bank, requesting that you are removed from their mailing lists.
2. Register with the Mailing Preference Service:

Take the contents of unwanted mail to Paper Recycling Points
(See W: www.sort-it.org.uk) or place into kerbside collections.
See KERBSIDE RECYCLING.
Envelopes can be placed into the Packaging Recycling Points in Edinburgh and green Paper Recycling Points in East Lothian (See W: www.sort-it.org.uk). Also accepted in the kerbside collections in East Lothian, Midlothian, and the Scottish Borders. See KERBSIDE RECYCLING.
Do not put envelopes into Paper Recycling Points (apart from the
green lidded Paper Recycling points in East Lothian), as the glue
used to stick them together interferes with the paper recycling process and
can lead to a lower quality of recycled paper.
