Stop the catalogs and phone books

To the editor:

Do you ever get tired of receiving those unwelcome catalogs in the mail? The one’s you didn’t ask for? Have you ever tried to stop them from coming to you? I have. Results: These people do not hear you or they do not understand English, but that is the only tongue I speak.

I have sent the catalog back with a message, take me off your mailing list. Still I continue to receive their catalog.

I have sent in the order form that has my name on it and ask that they stop the catalog. A month later, here comes another catalog.

I have phoned their 1-8000 number and asked them personally to please stop sending this catalog. They say, “Oh sure,” and then I keep getting them anyway.

I have bothered to write that we are in our 70s now and not really into catalogs. I have asked them to think about saving trees. Our landfills do not need all these books laying in the fill and taking space. Shouldn’t it be against the law for companies to sell our names to other companies?

I understand the recycle companies won’t take things with staples.

Why should I drive to a recycle center to get rid of things I do not want nor did I order in the first place?

Everyone these days is trying to think green and save the earth. Why aren’t the catalog companies? The same goes for telephone books and yellow pages books. I don’t have GCI and I don’t want their phone book. So why don’t they stick to their customers? I get MTA’ phone book at the post office. Thank you MTA for doing it correctly. Then I get RAM thrown in my driveway in the slush and ice. I have called that company to come back and pick it up. They did not. What a waste of paper and time.

Any new ideas for me on how to stop receiving unwanted books and catalogs?
