I think its pretty fair to say you can stop MOST of the junk mail by following these 2 simple steps.
Register with the mail preference service.

Its also just as import to Opting out of Royal Mail's Door to Door service
You can write the request to
Freepost RSTR-YCYS-TGLJ
Royal Mail Door to Door Opt Outs
Kingsmead House
Oxpens Road
OXFORD
OX1 1AA
or request to optout by email optout@royalmail.com
It generally kicks in quite quick but can take a few months to filter through
Its also important to be careful who you give your address out to. if you have given your address out and tick a box for further information the above service will not over ride this option. In this case you will need to contact the sender. Its probably best to email them with a copy of the letter you received so you have a record should you continue to receive such mail.
