Got Junk Mail? We have a problem!

Did you know
  • You waste about 70 hours a year dealing with junk mail
  • 28 Billion Gallons of water are used to send junk mail to Americans each year.
  • Further more than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail.
  • Creating and shipping junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 9 million cars.
  • $320 million of local taxes are used to dispose of junk mail each year
Learn more here.


You can stop 75% of the junk mail by signing up for this service (http://www.dmachoice.org/).

And remember most financial documents in the mail can be accessed online. Sign up with your bank to get electronic statements only and remember to sign up for BILL-PAY! It WILL PAY in the long run.
