Stem the Tide


Simplify your life by stemming the tide of junk mail, telephone solicitation, and door-to-door sales....

Unwanted junk mail. Request your name be removed from mailing lists and don’t fill out entry forms, etc.

Unwanted phone solicitors. Request they remove you from their calling list. Better still, write to:

Telephone Preference Service

c/o Direct Marketing Association

P.O. Box 9014

Farmingdale, NY 11735-9014

Request that your name and phone numbers be removed from telephone solicitation lists.

Call 1-888-382-1222 from every phone (home, business, & cell phones) you do not want telemarketers to reach you on. 

Door-to-door Solicitors: apply 1” vinyl lettering, “No solicitors,” to entrance. Costs about a dollar. Salespeople may still knock, but this way I feel more comfortable sending them on their way. After all, they've been warned.
