I have a small apartment mailbox and it is always stuffed to the brim with advertising flyers! I cannot find a number to call to get it removed. Is there any other way?

No, but you can have lots of fun returning it! Make sure *your* address & info is off, or cut it out. Trade this mail into that return envelope, put that mail into this return envelope...make it a bit of a hobby!! Get back at them a bit...why fill up your trash?

One way we slowed the mail down was by putting a fraud alert on our credit information. It completely stopped credit card companies from accessing our info and then sending us junk mail.
And the previous answer is right - return the envelopes constantly with their original envelope inside. They can read the coded numbers at the bottom of the original envelope and will stop your address.
You mention flyers - a postage stamp is required for anything to be put into a mailbox. If your apartment manager is allowing "stuffers" to put in flyers, you need to speak to him. He may be getting paid, but it's not legal for non-mail to be put into mailboxes.

YES THERE IS! Just like the website you go to for stopping phone calls for solicitations, there is a website for stopping soliciting mail. Goi here as a first step, then google the words: junk mail list, and you will find MANY ways of doing this. I did it 6 months ago, and went from a full mailbox EVERYDAY to maybe three or four junk mails A WEEK.... BIG diference... http://www.newdream.org/Junkmail/form.php

This worked for me. All the junk mail that comes with return envelops & return postage lick shut & mail them back empty or put some of the other junk mail in the envelop then send it back. Remember they don't pay postage on anything you throw away. Mail it back to them & their bulk mail has to pay. Believe me it don't take long & the junk slows down to a trickle.

Yes, you can request stoppage on junk mail by going to a website. If you google it up you'll know how to do this.

Yes! Tell your postmaster that the only mail you want is just the mail that specifically contains your name and address and you do not want anything addressed to resident or patron. They will comply.

ON Seinfeld, Kramer bricked up his mailbox at his apartment, but it didn't work.
Truthfully, there isn't a way.
