Does Your Department Receive a Lot of Junk Mail???
 During the past several years we have been working with departments throughout the University to reduce the amount of unsolicited mail, or junk mail, it receives.
This program has been quite successful for the departments that have taken advantage of it. However, many departments still have not been heard from, and others that were returning unwanted mail have stopped. In an effort to bring unsolicited mail under control, we are requesting that ALL departments participate in this program.
What Is Junk Mail?
All mail that you do not want to continue to receive is Junk Mail: magazines, letters or packages. Mail for faculty or staff that are no longer here (see Mail Tip for guidelines) also qualifies for the Junk Mail Program.
-
All unwanted U.S. mail need only be marked "NO" or "CANCEL" in the vicinity of the address label (but not on it) and returned to Campus Mail – you do not even need to use a campus envelope.
-
Please DO NOT cross out the name or address with marker as we need to read the entire address. Also, do not stamp anything directly on the label.
-
Return envelopes UNOPENED IF POSSIBLE with contents included.
- OR - Tape a Junk Mail sign to a white mail bucket and just toss the unwanted mail in the bucket. No need to write on each letter. When the bucket is full, tape the Junk Mail sign securely to the top of the bucket to keep all mail in the bucket. Place the bucket with your outgoing campus mail and our driver will pick up the bucket with your outgoing mail.
We have seen a significant decrease in unwanted mail coming in to Yale and, with your help, we are looking forward to even more of a reduction in this mail.
Please label a white bucket "Junk Mail" or download a Junk Mail sign here and encourage your department to use it for all unwanted mail. If you have any questions regarding junk mail, of if you would like white mail buckets to collect unwanted mail in, e-mail Lynne at Yale Mail Service.

Does the Mail Reduction Program Work?
-
To date we have updated almost 1,100 mailing lists for companies around the country. Below is a sample of pounds of mail we do not have to handle / sort deliver / pick up or dispose of. Some companies send out mailings monthly. We estimate the reduction in pounds of each mailing are:
Sigma / Aldrich - Savings of each mailing !
L.L. Bean - Savings of each mailing !
Land's End - Savings of each mailing !
InMac Computers - Savings of each mailing !
Global Computers - Savings of each mailing !
