Basically, you send the letter to the publisher's headquarters by registered mail, restricted delivery, to top guy (published, chief editor, etc) and the letter acknowledges receipt of the trash and explains that if they continue to deposit papers at your house, they will be contracting with your family for certain recycling and disposal services which cost $500 per paper. Then, the letter explains that they'll get a bill for services if they continue because their credit is good with you, and it briefly explains the unpleasantness of the collections end of your enterprise. I always include a picture of the thing they deposited (just take a pic with the camera, print it out on the laser printer in B&W, just so they can see it is theirs) and include that. Has worked EVERY time for me thus far.
