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.

Email is one thing. Real junk is another. Takes 2 seconds to press delete but takes 30+seconds to walk outside and manually remove the crap from my mailbox. I'd love to get a copy of the letter from you! - doot542 at pimpinpays dot com -
Sometimes I think putting a shredder behind my mailbox slot would be the fastest way to dispose of it.
