Catalog Choice - Opt-Out of Unwanted Catalogs

Periodically I notice how many catalogs I receive in the mail. Recently I have had a weeks worth of mail forwarded to me at a time - and the stack of catalogs that I promptly throw in the recycling bin was staggering.

I found Catalog Choice. This web site let\’s you register your address(es), and names of recepients of catalogs. Then you can choose catalogs, choose the appropriate addresses and names, with the customer id. Catalog Choice will contact the sender and cancel the catalogs. They say it may take as much as 10 weeks - but if this works, it will be a huge savings in trees. So far, in three weeks of going though my mail and registering catalogs, I have requested that I be removed from 30 (count them) catalog lists. I had no idea the number would be that high. I wish I had done this ten weeks ago.
