Straight in the garbage. If I wanted your junk mail I'd ask for it! |

I sort through it. I keep the coupons that interest me and throw out everything else. I don't know why I bother to keep the coupons because I never think to use them. They end up getting tossed eventually. |

Throw it away unless it can be recycled. |

I sort through it and set aside one piece in about 100 that looks remotely interesting.... and then it ends up in a pile somewhere.

I recycle it; some of it I look at first and some I don't. |

I don't get junk mail. |

Some of it, specifically grocery store circulars, I recycle right at the post office and never read. But, that's only for mail I get at the PO box. At home, I just throw that stuff in the trash (we don't recycle paper, old cardboard, at home). Some junk mail I do read, though the definition of junk mail is somewhat gray. Most of what I read is somewhat targeted to me (related to subscriptions I have or hobbies, etc.) |

I recycle the catalogs and shred the letters. |

Mostly garbage... I'll hold on to interesting ads or offers for refinancing my mortgage... because I'm looking to do that soon. |

I don't get it. |

I check carefully to make sure that there aren't any bills hidden amongst it. Then I drop it into the recycling box. The only thing that I ever actually read is the reports from my MLA. I'm not sure if that is considered "junk mail" or not. It isn't addressed specifically to me, but it isn't commercial in nature... |

I give it back to Canada Post. I get my mail through a Canada Post super mailbox like this one:
When I get junk mail, I just stick it in the mail slot in the left section. I didn't ask for the junk mail, and Canada Post is being generously compensated for carrying it, so they can dispose of it. |

I stick it in a pile somewhere in case my housemate wants any of it (as it is her house), then it gets recycled. |

It becomes real junk. |

I have a box at the post office and then my home address. So I get double the junk! I flip through the first set and keep whatever interests me. Everything else is used for campfires. |

Do you toast marshmallows over your junk mail campfire and make Smores? |

Some of it goes in the garbage. Some of it I use for the kids art projects or to teach them things. Right now I am trying to teach them about money and how a budget works because the green eyed monster has moved in. So I use the adds to pretend shop with them. And teach them the value of a dollar. |

It goes straight from the mail box to the garbage bins out side. |

Heck ya! Any reason I can find to have chocolate..lol |
| clare | | (reply to SillyDrea) posted 7-Sep-2006 12:36am |
I don't think you ever need a reason to have chocolate. Any time is a good time to me. |
| SillyDrea | | (reply to clare) posted 7-Sep-2006 1:28am |
lol...There are two types of people in the world. Chocolate lovers and fools. |

I recycle it. |

I leave it in the mailbox. My dad eventually yells at me, so then I move it to the recycling bin. |

Shred it and use it as bedding for my rat. |

Throw most of it away unless it's a credit card offer. Those get shredded (however don't receive many anymore after opting out). I might keep something if it interests me but that doesn't happen often. |
| ROCKMAN | | posted 9-Sep-2006 11:09am |
I look at it and if something intrests me I will look at it, but most of it goes straight into the trash when I get home. |
| LindaH |
I light it on fire and throw it in the middle of the road.
Just kidding. It goes in the garbage. |

I've heard somewheres that you can make fake IDs out of anything shaped like credit cards, not that I have use for them. I think I keep the cards somewheres. I even had one of those credit cards that you can put on a key chain. And the stickers on capital one are pretty cool. Outside of that I shred credit card offers and just throw everything else way. Sometimes when I am bored I read the fine print on the credit card offers to see if I can understand it. The math part I can deal with, since I am pretty good in math, but the lawyery stuff makes my head hurt. |

I recycle, first I glance through the pile to make sure something important isn't lodged in the middle than toss. |

I usually sort through it, but lately, with all the political ads, it goes straight in the garbage. I wish there was a garbage can by the mailboxes so I didn't have to take it back to my apartment & fill up my garbage pail. |
