I AGREE
It looks like a lot of local/council newspapers that are in the letterbox in the photo above, not actual leaflets eg: warehouse, farmers catalogues. Also, the letterbox is small and does not have a newspaper pipe attached to it. A "No Junk Mail" sign will not stop these papers from been delivered to your home and papers are often big and clunky and will take up plenty of room in a small letterbox that does not have a newspaper pipe attached to it. There is a sign that reads "no junk mail or newspapers" that you could use. However if you are still wanting to receive these papers people should get a newspaper pipe attached to their letter box which leaves plenty of room for postage in the letterbox. Here are some easy suggestions to stop messy/wet paper been left around properties: 1. If you are happy not to receive junk mail or non-subscribed newspapers, put a "No Junk Mail or Newspapers" sign on your letterbox. Make sure you put this sign on the front, some people put them on the side of their letterbox and if the delivery person is coming from the other end they will not see your sign. 2. If you want to still receive non-subscribed newspapers but not junk-mail. Put a "No Junk Mail" sign on your letterbox. Again put the sign in the centre so that it will not be missed and have a newspaper pipe attached to your letterbox, that way everything will fit. 3. If you want to receive everything. Get a big letterbox so that it can fit. So many letterboxes are too small and are not big enough to accommodate papers/junk-mail and the post. One good idea I have seen some people do is have one letterbox for post only and another big box by the side with a sign saying "Junk-Mail and Newspapers in here please".The three easy solutions so that will stop having messy/wet paper everywhere. A fix for everyone without having to issue nasty fines to people.
I have a notice up...it is honored...I don't get any *junk Mail* ......Try ringing the top man of the Postal Delivery Service in your area and tell him to take your address of the Junk mail list....lol

Speaking of junk mail that gets into every bodys letter box,think about the "press", this is a paper that goes to thounds of house holds, when one unreavalsthe wrappin g out comes the junk mail. I suppose if it cant get into the house one way they will do it another.
