junk mail in Port and late night sellers

manic_dave · 21-11-2009 4:35pm #1

I moved here 3 years ago from Dublin. Back hme i never got ther amount of junk mail in my door as I do here. At least 3 times a week I get the sticker for the many many ( same bloody lot ) clothing collections. I have more fast food menus, i could paper my hose with them. Add to that all the supermaket rubbish, plumbers ect.

I have a small child. I have had to disconnect the door bell. There muct be 4 or 5 Avon Ladies. How many kids selling tickets for football clubs.Oh and I have one guy trying to sell me a voucher book about once a month.
Where does it end??

I hear you on that one! I feel the exact same. You forgot to mention the Kleneeze catalogues too!!! I'm sick to death of recycling other peoples rubbish!!! Id say we actually fill 1/5 of the green bin with packaging from food etc and the rest is all the junk mail!

we have a dog who is a house dog and nearly every morning at 6am we are woken up by her barking cos someone has posted something in the letter box it is so FRUSTRATING especially on a saturday morning!!!!

I have thought about getting a no junk mail sticker but do they work??? Does anyone have one on their door and do they work?

Doubt they would bother not to drop it, even if u put that sticker up!

Its nearly every day now and is beyond a joke. These rogue "charity clothes" collectors and more junk for supermarkets, fast food and the like. I've lived in a few places and have never seen it as bad as it is in portlaoise.

Charity clothes collectors is gone mad, must get 1 to 2 stickers in my door daily. We should save thm all up and then pay kids to stick them on their van

They have stated recently to have your bin out by 6am to be collected. Is there not a law about putting rubbish out the night before ( bags if you have tags ) ???

ozalseker · 08-01-2010 12:27am

i hate them junk mail people.I even put a not on my door "No Junk Mail Please" what did they do?they took off the note at last night.Letter box hole on the door was half way open and all the cold wind came in through the hall,
if i catch them next time i am going to charge them for wasting my home heat

setanta74 · 08-01-2010 4:01pm

6.45am last tuesday morning and they slam my letter box waking the whole house with their "appeal for clothing for the little orphans".

We need one of those electric shock things like your man had on his shop door in Ennis when people were peeing in his doorway. You could disable it when you get up so the very nice postie would not get 1000 volts of lightening into his fingertips.

I reckon theres a market for something like that for these chancers

shivkk06 · 13-01-2010 1:19pm

Im glad i not only one who found this problem i have at least 4 to 5 leaflets of somesort everyday when i get home i never had this problem anywhere else.

So posting a note saying no junk wont work???
