My advice is similar: don't even put the mail down anywhere! Recycle, put in shred box, or put in inbox for processing. Once you put it down, it will start to grow - I know this from experience! Much, much better to develop the habit of taking care of it right away. I posted about this very issue today.

It's therefore common to see a "no ads please" sticker on mailboxes, which we have done. I think the print ads usually don't inform a lot, and in this day and age (speak: with the internet), I don't need to told a hundred times that there's a sale on potatoes at the supermarket.
