we don't have a recycling collection.

Why not? Do you live in a very remote location?

Regardless, I still wouldn't post anything back to them. Like spam E-Mails, responding to them just lets the sender know there is someone receiving and reading them...

Yes. Albeit I call it remote. Not very remote.

As the OP asked how to stop it, this was my solution. At least they are returned and the company get flooded as much as I did.

Leaflets are nothing like spam email. Not at all.

They are if you insist on returning them to the sender by post...
In the OP's case it is not a mass mail shot to a particular postcode/area but rather addressed to an individual...

They are RTS marked as "not at this address". I don't think I've ever had a duplicate - I "recycle" the charity, political, gambling and all the other carp I regard as unsolicited. Apart from the Lib Dems, no one seems to be persistent (as in more than once).

There is no 'insist', it is easier for me to lob them in the post box than it is to put them in the refuse - post box is emptied daily but refuse is not so. :rotfl:

If I were the OP I'd make sure everyone at my address only appears on the "edited" version of their local electoral roll and not the "open" version.


EDIT: Errr... Do I mean doesn't appear on the edited version (and therefore does not appear on the "open" version) but is obviously on the full version? Sorry - I always find this confusing! I'm sure everyone knows what I mean...

Or Op has upset someone and they are dropping their address here, there & everywhere.
