Long Beach Recycles

Use these tips to substantially reduce your unwanted mail. Remember to recycle junk mail, catalogs, and any other unwanted mixed paper.

Opt-Out of Credit Card Offers

To opt-out of preapproved or prescreened credit card or insurance offers, visit Opt Out Prescreen Website or call the Credit Reporting Industry Prescreening Opt-Out Number at 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688). You can opt out for five years electronically, or print out a “permanent opt out by mail” form from the website.

Protect Yourself from Future Junk Mail

Think twice before entering a contest, joining a store’s loyalty card program, filling out a “consumer” survey, or sending in a warranty card. Your name could go on a mailing list that gets sold to or shared with other companies, resulting in more junk mail.
