How to deal with an intense amount of junk mail in Japan

Every time I emptied my mailbox, in a few days I could count almost 50+ pieces of mail that were completely useless to me, and what a blatant waste of paper and resources.

And sorting through them, worrying I might miss out some important mail gave me extra stress .

I saw a sticker on one of my friend’s mailbox that basically asked the marketers to stop putting flyers. At once and I ordered one for myself. And it actually works!!

My mailbox has been completely junk free since then. In fact its so empty now, I am a bit sad with the realization that I don’t get any meaningful mail at all 😄

Even though there is a big culture of junk mail in Japan, atleast I am happy that those who deliver it still care about our preferences - in typical Japanese omotenashi fashion.
