Junk mail no more (hopefully!)

I can't believe I didn't know this, so thought I would share with everyone. I'd guess 90% of the mail we get is just junk mail-- ads, credit card offers, insurance offers, etc. So I found where you can register your mailing address and you will no longer receive junk mail that is sent to you through obtaining your credit score. So this will hopefully eliminate a large chunk! It's similar to the Do Not Call list you can use to prevent most telemarketers from calling. Dustin was too nervous to do it cause you have to provide your ssn....yes, I've made fun of him for 2 days now for this. So we'll be able to see if I have any reduction in mail, while his should stay at normal volume!
