Re: Unwanted Phone Calls
At Moscow Recycling, we have free junk mail reduction kits that include
postcards for both the Telephone Preference list and Direct Mail Preference
lists from the Direct Marketing Association. (postcards save you a little
money on postage and get the job done!) The kit also has phone numbers to
help get you off the telephone lists for major insurance companies and other
tips. To get one of these kits, stop by Moscow Recycling anytime Tuesday -
Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and pick one up at the cashier's window.
