Take Back Your Mailbox

You come home to it every day -- piles of flyers, pamphlets and solicitations stuffing your mailbox. But there are ways to junk the junk mail. David Welch reports.

Here's a money-saving resolution for the New Year: send less mail. On January 8, a first-class stamp will cost 39 cents (a 2 cent increase). That means bulk mail will get more expensive, too. But don't expect that to stop organizations from sending it to you. David Welch decided to find out how consumers can keep "junk mail" out of their mailboxes. (Photo: (c) Getty Images)
