Empty your recycling bin for good(!) with PaperKarma's real world Adblocker for unsolicited postal snail mail. Simply snap a picture to unsubscribe from bulky catalogs, credit card offers and unwanted paper mail delivered to your home address. Reduce clutter, save time and simplify your life! Are you still receiving junk mail addressed to previous owners or tenants? No problem! PaperKarma allows you to add all the name /address combinations under which you receive phyiscal postal mail. Take a step toward protecting your privacy while also helping the environment. Each year 77+ billion pieces of unwanted mail overfill US mailboxes, with 44% of these direct mailings ending up in trash landfills (unopened!). The USPS drives over 1.4 billion miles (56,220 laps around Earth) to deliver these ads. With PaperKarma, you hold the power to reduce your carbon footprint and prevent direct marketing mail from being printed in your name in the first place: • Simply open the app and snap a pic of the offending junk mail • We apply some magic to automatically identify and recognize the mailer • Simply confirm your choice and we work behind the scenes to unsubscribe you. Boom! That’s it. It’s that easy. PaperKarma works on most junk mail including the leading national brands and direct mailers: All State, American Airlines AAdvantage, American Express (AmEx), AT&T /Uverse /DirecTV, Capital One, Discover Card, Farmers, Geico, Money Mailer, Restoration Hardware (RH), Save.com, State Farm, United Mileage Plus, Valpak, Wayfair, Xfinity and 100,000+ more national and local mailers, charities, non-profits and organizations. As the largest "Do Not Mail" registry and directory in the USA, PaperKarma can help stop 90+% of all physical junk mail you receive. We vet, verify and add 100+ new mailers suggested by our users every single day. PaperKarma has been featured on ABC, CBS, The New York Times, NBC's The Today Show, LifeHacker, TechCrunch, and more. We are honored that Apple iTunes featured PaperKarma as one of its "Best Apps 2012" alongside disruptive apps such as AirBnb, TaskRabbit and Uber. More recenlty PaperKarma was featured by both Apple and Google on Earth Day 2019-23. -- In-app purchase subscription required to use the PaperKarma app beyond the free trial.

Give it time, it works

This has become one of my favorite apps. At first it felt like a lot of work to set up and I wasn’t seeing immediate results. But then I just got in the habit of snapping a pic of every item of junk mail I get and tossing it in the recycling bin. Patience paid off, because after a few months, I’m seeing my junk mail volume starting to go way down! Although, some requests seem to be in a “processing” queue for several weeks, which feels a bit too long to me. Another opportunity for improvement is recognizing mailers when scanning mail could be improved. Overall though, this app is well worth it.

Thank you! Feel free to reach out to us at human@paperkarma.com so we can check on those pending requests for you. Often times this is due to our sending requests in "batches" once or twice per month to the mailers, based on our agreed protocols with them.

I hardly get any junk mail anymore. I been using this app and a few other tricks to get rid of junk mail. First, I started taking all the mail that comes with a return envelope and sending that mail back to the company. Write on the envelope, “take me off your list”. Include your home address to make it easier for the company to take you off their list. To get off of the Redplum ads, you have to go their website and use their unsubscribe page. To get off the ads that are apart of your newspaper company, you have to write to the newspaper. I don’t get the newspaper but I was getting their annoying ads. I have been ad free for three years maybe. I do all that and I use this ap. I get one or two pieces of junk mail a month. I started using this app a few years ago. It has changed my life. Now, mostly get bills in the mail. Some days, I get zero mail. I love it because I feel like I’m helping the environment. I’m saving paper or a tree. The more people use this app. the more we do good things for the environment. It’s exciting when someone sends me a card in the mail. It’s not all mixed up with a bunch of junk. Stuff won’t get lost. I really appreciate this app. I enjoy being paper free. I recommend this app to someone who can’t seem to get his mail situation under control. I hope he uses the app. Thank you PaperKarma for making apart of my life paper free. :)

Best app to save time and the environment

I was so sick of getting junk mail when I read about Paper Karma in a substack article. It’s the best $25 I ever spent. Not only do I not have to spend hours sorting through junk mail for recycling, garbage and shredding, but our mail has been reduced to a maximum of one or two pieces a day, when previously it was 7 to 10 pieces a day. Junk mail pollutes our environment. It also wastes our time. Get Paper Karma today and save yourself the hassle. Just a few minutes a day and within a few weeks you will notice a huge difference in the amount of junk that comes into your house.

After using for nearly 3 years, I must say that this was the best service we’ve paid for. We paid for the life time plan. Mailer gets tricker too like sometimes flip my first and last name but all I need is to add more address and details and then I don’t get the mail from them anymore. It takes time of course but it definitely does work every time I submit the request.Our apartment is the only one don’t get junk mails like others in the building. I highly recommend to everyone who’s having trouble getting all the junk mails!

We've added thousands(!) of new mailers you can now opt out from, including national, regional & local mailers. Speed improvements & infrastructure updates.
