You can actually! You have to pay like $3 to unsubscribe from junk mail (ridiculous, right?), but you can! You have to unsubscribe from pre-screened credit cards separately. I did both a couple years ago and reclaimed my mailbox.
I know I’m going to sound like a bit of a dick, but where I am I just put a little sticker that says “no junk mail” on my letter box and then the junk mail stops. That’s more awesome imo
I unsubscribed from the junk mail I was getting just to realize that my mailman just puts the same junk into every box in my neighborhood without looking at the address, so I still get my neighbor’s junk mail lol

Yeah I’m super confused that they have to pay to opt out. You in Australia! I also have the little sticker. Honour system at work maybe?

I definitely don’t get any more. Maybe you can complain about your mail carrier.
