Current opt-out methods for Environmental Defense Fund mail

1. 1

   Mail preference form

   Go to Environmental Defense Fund's Member Services page. Choose Remove me from further mailings, or I want to receive less mail. Hours on the page are Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern.

2. 2

   Email request

   Use the Email option on this page and ask Environmental Defense Fund to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.

   If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Environmental Defense Fund:

   Hello,
   
   I'm writing to request that Environmental Defense Fund permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings.
   
   The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer:
   
   [NAME]
   [ADDRESS]
   [CITY ST ZIP]
   
   A few notes for your direct mail team:
   
   • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Environmental Defense Fund.
   • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source.
   
   Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference.
   
   Thank you,
   [NAME]

How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively

1. 1

   DMAchoice

   DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.

   NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Environmental Defense Fund as it is not an active member of the ANA.

2. 2

   OptOutPrescreen

   OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.

   NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Environmental Defense Fund mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

3. 3

   PaperKarma

   For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
