I deliver junk mail for exercise and I would like to distribute 'no junk mail' stickers with my deliveries, as people have asked for this. Where do I get these stickers?

They may not totally stop all the unwanted advertising material, but 'no junk mail' stickers should, at the very least, cut down the amount of material you need to recycle.
The Distribution Standards Board regulates the Australian Catalogue Association, which prints the majority of advertising mail.
However, this excludes newspapers and political mail.
If the sticker is ignored, you can submit a complaint on this hotline: 1800 676 136.
If you send them a stamped, self-addressed envelope, they'll send you back a 'no advertising material' sticker, free of charge. if you live in an apartment block, they might even send you a few, for unoccupied units.
You can also add your address to a 'do not mail service', which is similar to the 'do not call' list. But this is a voluntary association so it won't necessarily eliminate the excess mail.
Other than that, you can head down to your local hardware store and buy one.

My child worked delivering Junk mail what shocked me was the waste and no enviromental policy, we were to dispose of any leftovers ourselves, I recycled, but makes you wonder if all did this, was a terrible waste. Even with the no junk mail sticker it stops it coming into your house, but stop to think of the leftovers and waste, and what happens to it. Worth looking into G magazine..
Try your local Council - many of them supply these stickers
You can get no junk mail stickers from www.cataloguecentral.com.au. You can also read all the major retail catalogues online there as well - so no more need to for junk mail in the mail box.
Eedra, did you ever find a source for stickers to deliver with your deliveries?
I'm part of a team of deliverers in my local area and would like to do the same.
