This is fascinating. We have no such system in the US as far as I am aware. First, I think itβs against the law for anyone other than postal employees to put stuff in mailboxes. So we get flyers shoved under doors, in cracks around letterboxes, etc. Second, no one would respect those stickers. And third, because our postal service has to be self-sustaining and legit mail has declined, the only mail you get these days is advertisements.

I don't remember the beginnings of such stickers, but it had something to do with the litter produced by the unwanted mail. We have to pay for our litter here. And no one wants to pay for others :)
Just like the same reason for you can get fined for throwing away litter. If it's not your litter box.. :)
I wish that the free willy said "I don't want" is binding for all people over the world.
