In Germany, you can just put a little sign on your letterbox that tells the post person to not give you any free newspapers or mail.
Only ads I've gotten in years where the ones directly addressed to me, and that's like every few months from one of two slightly old fashioned firms, and tends to include a voucher, so that's something.
It's literally illegal for a post worker to not give you junk mail in the US.
That's because you're a cucked society who keeps voting for the businessman to sodomize your life.
The rule they're referencing is actually a pretty good one. It prevents postal workers with an agenda from selectively not delivering non-specifically addressed mail, which includes things like public hearings on land use and taxes, voting information, class action suit notifications, etc.
Unfortunately it's a little easy to exploit, but there's only 1-2 big mail advertisers per region and if you speak to your local post office you can easily opt out of the junkmail they send out.
I wish they would get rid of all mail except for person to person written letter, checks made out to me, and packages I've ordered. Everything else is garbage.
Checks are also incredibly outdated in most countries.
Sure, but you wouldn't turn one away if someone legitimately sent you free money.
I hate junk mail but sadly all those wasted resources are the only thing keeping the post office afloat.
