I put it all through a shredder, and when I have a bag full, I then put it into the garbage disposal and compress it into neat little bricks.
I understand that without this garbage in the mail system, it would probably cost many postal workers their jobs, so I do not care if American businesses want to waste their money producing and mailing this stuff, but it is certainly out of control. The postage alone probably amounts to $1.00 to $2.00 a day. So that is (365-52-10(holidays) days a year that produce approximately $450.00 of postage absolutely wasted on me from various firms, because I never read it.

I think that's a great little idea and "green" too!

Do you mean "trash compactor"?

You can use it as compost or a weed barrier in your garden!
The junk mail is crazy. I think you should be able to "return to sender" on it!

Good idea! Although I do hope you're not burning that glossy paper. It isn't recyclable and its toxic if you burn it. I don't want to see someone getting sick.
As a side note, I recognize the aircraft in your avatar as I work on P-3's. Nice to see someone else who knows WTF they are.

That is a great idea! Junk mail sucks, and thankfully it only comes on Thursday for me. But I stillkeep it for the reasons you posted.
Smart thinking!
I have to add, that I am sorry for your loss. I know it doesn't mean a lot, but it did touch a nerve.
