The magic of e-mail (aside from instant delivery) is that all of your unwanted spam can be disposed of with the click of a button. If only there was a button to erase the heaps of unwanted paper junk mail that arrives at your front door every day. Wait. Is there one? The geniuses behind Earth Class Mail have come up with a new system for virtualizing your snail mail, so you have a say on whether or not those pesky catalogs wind up wasting space in your house. Their service asks users to forward their mail to one of 18 P.O. boxes, where their envelopes are scanned and posted on a secure website and allows the user to decide whether or not a certain letter is trash or treasure. From there, users can also decide whether they’d prefer to recycle, shred, ship, or open and scan the contents so they can be read online. Not only is Earth Class Mail a seemingly simple solution for eliminating unwanted letters, but it’s also an eco-friendly way to figure out what to do with that inevitable mess of mail.

I’ve been using Earth Class Mail for almost a year now. I really like it. I have several businesses entities and I can’t really collect all the mail in one place. (I know, this sounds a little shady.) I definitely don’t want it all coming to my house. USPS Premier Mail Forwarding is way too expensive to just have to dig through a bunch of crap mail anyways.

It’s also super duper nice when I’m traveling. No worries about missing that “we’re going to turn off your water now” warning just because I’m on the road for a month or so.

It’s fun to recycle junk mail and I’ve found that I physically forward only 2% or less of my physical mail to my house.

I guess what I’m trying to say is…it works for me. And I like it.
