The amount of junk mail and leaflets we get through our door is ridiculous. We often get five or six separate people pushing unwanted leaflets through our letterbox each day.
I can tell that I’m not the only person on the road who is getting annoyed by this. A few houses have recently put signs saying “no junk mail” on their doors. These are largely hand-written signs, but a couple of them seem to have bought stickers from somewhere.
This a good idea, but I can’t help thinking that a hand-written sign like that would look a bit ugly on the front door. I’d want something with a bit more class. What I’d really like is a nice little brass plaque that says “No Hawkers, No Circulars” – signs like that were quite common as I was growing up.
But I worry that modern leaflet distributors wouldn’t know what it meant.
The Dutch, or at least in Amsterdam, have stickers in red and green wuth Ja/Nee for I think, three different types of junk.And knowing the Dutch it’s green-driven and lagally enforced too.
I put up a “No junk mail please. Ignore at your peril” note on my door, and it did the job. Until it fell off.
Like you, I couldn’t find the signs in retailers and later realised it’s because they all deliver so much junk mail themselves!I found that buy No Junk Mail signs at http://www.nojunkmailsigns.co.uk.Good luckDan
