How to Get Rid of Unwanted Catalogs

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Receiving unwanted catalogs in the mail just adds shopping temptation and clutter to your life. If you're ready to get rid of both, there's a simple way to fight back. Here's how it's done:

To Remove Your Name from All Catalog Mailing Lists:

Send an e-mail to optout@abacus-us.com with your name and mailing information. Abacus is the database used by nearly all product catalogs.

To Opt-Out of Just the Catalogs that You Don't Want:

Create a free account at catalogchoice.org, and choose the catalogs that you'd like to unsubscribe from. They'll take care of all the details, so you don't have to.
