That's why Royal Mail have junk mail measures in place and why theres also a mailing preference service where people can opt not to receive unwanted or unsolicited mail.

Bills (at least those which are legitimate) are a different matter because the receipient will have entered into a contract with the service provider and part of that contract is that they provide the customer with bills. That said, ever more service and utility peoviders are switching to / advocating paperless billing.

Dominos pizzas are different again in that it's bad enough that their pizzas are rubbish without them foisting more junk on us.
