Why doesn Doncaster Council do something about packaging and junk mail?
Doncaster Council does not have the ability to regulate the packaging industry. Central Government and the Environmental Agency are tackling this problem through national and international legislation. We also have no power to regulate junk mail. However you can register with the Mailing Preference Service to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive: The Mailing Preference Service, Freepost 22, London W1E 7EZ or call 0207 2913310. You can put any junk mail you receive in your green box as long as you remove any plastic wrapping first. For your own security, you are advised to shred any confidential material (such as bank or credit card statements).
