I send non-recyclable junk mail back to the source for recycling.  I figure
these large corporations have recycling capabilities that are far superior
to our municipal ones, so I take advantage of that.  Most of the dozen or so
unsolicited credit card applications I get each week come with a postage
paid return envelope.  I shred the credit card application, and then stuff
the envelopes with all of the glossy fliers, pamphlets, and other junk that
comes in the mail, and send it back to the credit card companies so they can
recycle this material for me.  :)
