When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the payment -- let the companies throw them away. When you get those pre approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right? Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes!
Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send the pizza coupon to Citibank.
If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their own application back! If you want to remain anonymous, make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can send the postage paid envelope back empty if you want to, just to keep them guessing! Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting their junk back in the mail. Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and the best part of it is that they're paying for it! Twice!
Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again!

I've been mailing 'em back for a while now~ Capitol one is my biggest offender. They get a chunk of cardboard also with their return mail. Sometimes I write Notes or jokes in the junk I mail back to them to
Back in the day of punched cards, I recall someone -- George Carlin? -- saying you should take the cards from one company and mail them to another. Who knows, he said, instead of what they sell, they might think you're trying to order a locomotive!
