You can stop delivery of the free newspaper The Washington Examiner? It is criminal that you actually have to tell them to stop sending it rather than encouraging you to sign up, but in any event, you can stop the littering of your driveway by visiting this link. I have just done it myself today, and do not know whether they sell your email address (which is required of you to stop delivery but it doesn’t appear to have to be a real email) or your mailing address, so proceed with caution!

The Washington Examinar can’t seem to get the message that people don’t want their paper. I have tried to cancel delivery using the on-line process and by phone several times in late-2009. The newspaper delivery stopped for a few months, but restarted again mid-March 2010. Fairfax County needs to pass an ordinance similar to Alexandria City’s Code §9-14, a Model Newspaper Delivery Ordinance.
Create a “JunK EmaiL Address”. That way they receive your directive and yet don’t get access to the email address that matters to you.
UPDATE: I have tried three times now to stop delivery on this paper. Sometimes i go two weeks without one, and then it starts up again! How frustrating. Maybe we should save all the papers and have them delivered in a dump truck to their office.
