Junk mail is such a waste! Consider these facts:
- Americans throw away 44 % of their junk mail and only half gets recycled!
- We pay $370 million each year to dispose of junk mail that is not recycled.
- 19 billion catalogs are mailed to U.S. households each year.
- On average, we spend 8 months over the course of our lives opening junk mail.
