>You can request junk mail, including bulk unaddressed mail be excluded. And reject delivery requiring your carrier to pick it up and dispose of it.

How? Last I checked Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) cannot be opted out of.

The USPS states that any mail may be refused, though lists only a few specific advance refusals of mail here:

I'm pretty sure that both EDDM and specific bulk mail senders can be blocked.

There was a long-standing rejection applied to pornographic materials, based on the recipients own assessment based on "I know it when I see it", though that loophole may have been closed.

From the old Junkbusters site, there are a Form 2150 and 1500 which can be filed against any sender.

I'm only finding the form 1500, here:

You can also directly contact bulk senders through the DMA mail preference service, Valpack, RedPlum, and others. See one listing of these here:

The From 1500 is the take-off-and-nuke-it-from-orbit option, however.
