Watch this fantastic interview from CNN. Note that the ability to specify the frequency of catalog mailings is a feature that we are working on but is not available yet.

What a tremendous service! I happened across this website while reading an article and saw a link on the margin of the webpage. Immediately started dropping catalogues! Great Idea!!
We are in discussion of consequences,but not the causes.The causes of global warming is not mankind but the corporations, its benefits and earning.
Thanks so much for this website. We can save lots of trees and do our part for the environmental world for our grandchildren to live in a better place.
Excellento! Bravo! I have wished for a very long time that someone would actually go through the efforts that you did to make this environmentally friendly service available. Your huge success expresses just how thankful we are for your service. Thank you!! savethetrees in tennessee
I get catalogs, magazines and other junk with no return address. I would like to see some legistration requiring a return address on all item sent in the mail so it can be returned to the sender if a person doesn’t want the item.

I recently used and blogged about this awesome service, because it is one of the best things I’ve seen, especially for my clients who are disorganized and struggle with clutter anyway.

I saw your article in our newspaper and I have to tell you, I was jumping for joy. Thank you so much for this service. I have already eliminated over 12 catalogs that I did not want, and I am still going at it.
After seeing your site on good morning america for unwanted junk mail, I signed up and got rid of some and will continue to go at it, every little bit will help the enviroment, I love that idea, keep up the good work.
I get two to four catalogs almost every day, many from the same company. I even get catalogs sent to the people from whom I bought my house 9 years ago, and occasionally for my husband who died in 1993! I’m can’t wait to get my mail these days, which the mailman can’t fit into the mailbox because of all the catalogs, and head for your website to stop them from coming.
Thank you, I was so tired of carrying in the catalogs, only to take them out to the trash. I sent the web site to everyone I know and feel that I’ve made a difference for the enviroment. We all have to start taking responsibility for saving the earth.
Please send me proper link so I can forward info to all concerned friends worldwide.An excellent idea, whoser time has definitely come.I cannot begin to imagine what a staggering amount of waste is produced by these elaborate, full-color, FREE catalogs……..As the Holiday season approaches, we will be deluged. Too soon to put the brakes on what is coming, but whatever we can do, great.
Might there be an equivalent to the DO NOT CALL REGISTERY? Where we could actually sign up, as a sign of our committment to an END of catalogs.
Ok, folks I did sign up a while ago but alas, it’s Christmas season and I am still getting all the catalogs I had hoped to eliminate. What’s the lag time here?
We are glad that you like the service. We will not be able to stop the catalogs over this holiday season. You will see the decline in mailings starting in 2008. It takes at least 10 weeks to get names off the lists and sometimes longer.
This is one of the best ideas ever. With so many systems broken, leaving the individual with no ability to respond, it is great to be able to DO SOMETHING.
Unsubscribe Please take me off of your list of recipents.

This is one more step in the right direction towards a GREEN planet. If we all try maybe our grandchildren and their grandchildren will have a planet to live on with plants and animals.

Saw this on CNN awhile back and signed up. I’m also *really* glad to see that browsing has been added (to searching). That’ll make it a lot easier to opt out from catalogs!
Thanks for offering this service. I plan to blog about it soon. It’s a great way for people to reduce mail AND help the environment!
Violet in Missouri. I hope you meant take the magazines to recycle-not the trash. Stopping unwanted magazines is not enough-we
need to recycle when we do get unwanted magizines. We do need to
reduce, recycle and reuse to help
the environment!
What a great idea! I certainly have more catalogs coming then I can even look at. They just end up in the trash. At least, this way I can feel like I’m doing something else positive for our planet and my childrens’ and my grandchildrens’ future. Thank you for this opportunity.
Finally… a website dedicated to helping the public remove themselves from unwanted magazines. Everyday, there are at least 6 magazines in my mailbox and I was getting so fed up. I would call the company but they just seemed to ignore me.. Now maybe there will be more room in my mailbox for the “important mail”.
I just wanted to ad this as some of the people leaving messages are angry because we throw them out.. I have too, we do not have any type of recycling whatsoever where I live and it is shameful, especially since I come from a country that recycles everything..
Please, Please start with Wal Mart. They send out their most unwanted ads every week or so. Yes they go directly to the re-cycle !! But I absolutly refuse to buy into or buy at Wal Mart and their unamerican values!!
this is great
[...] Catalog Choice has received national attention. The New York Times, Yahoo, Good Morning America, NBC — and have a look at the CNN spot! [...]
Thank god there is help for this epidemic of waste!
the sooner the better in my opinion. Mary
Thank you for this website!! We all need to help the planet in any small way we can.
What a blessing.. at last a way to reduce the deluge of unwanted catalogs. During the past 4 month I have written over 80 letters to companies requesting they stop sending the blasted catalogs. Now a few clicks will do. I hope. Thanks!
AWESOME!!!! I get three catalogs (huge) from one company almost monthly!!!Such a waste….I can go on the internet if I need anything and this is such a waste…..Just like the litterbug this is the catabug!!!
Wow – what a great service! I must receive at least 10 un-requested catalogs per day; and I’ve been signing on to each individual merchant’s websites to remove my name. So glad I can do this in one place. THANK YOU!
I clicked on the Browse feature for the list of catalogues and only all the comments people have made come up. I have a bunch of catalogues by the computer waiting to be opted out of. Help!
Dear MYrl Trimble: I don’t know how you got that error, but try using the “search” feature instead. This is easier anyway, as your catalog will appear after only a few of the letters are typed in. If you’re still having trouble, use the “contact” function(at the bottom of the page) to send them an email. Hope this helps.
Please remove my name from all lists
please remove my name from all catalog lists.
Please remove my name from all magazines and catalog lists.
i have registered before but am srill flooded with catalogues
Lenore:
We are working with merchants every day to make sure that they honor our members’ requests. If you continue to receive catalogs from merchants you have opted-out of, you can help us by indicating that you are still receiving the catalog in you My Choices page.
With your help, we know that we can stem the tide of unwanted mail in due time.
It’s a great idea thanks!
Unwanted magazines: I am on a list of Physicians, and get dozens of ‘free’ magazines I don’t want. Advertisers know that a mag in a doctor’s office gets seen by 10-50 people vs 1-2 people for a home subscriber, so the mags have no incentive ti stop sending these unwanted mags despite my many complaints. How can I stop this madness?
Please remove my name from all catalog lists.
