Employees Gone but their Mail Keeps Coming?

EcoLogical Mail Coalition
EcoLogical Mail Coalition solves an annoying and costly problem for local businesses: the stacks of catalogs, brochures, magazines, and other mail sent by marketers to employees who are no longer there.  Funding for the Coalition comes from marketers who pay a fee to identify records that should be removed from their mailing lists; the service is free to local businesses. Marketers in turn can mail fewer pieces to generate the same results, saving them money.
