According to federal guidelines, any mail recipient can refuse junk letters - just write "refused" and put it back to be picked up.
My Fort Collins mail carrier didn't know this. When I left a note citing the regulation in her own USPS handbook, she retaliated by purposely and improperly marking my address as vacant, and refusing to deliver my mail.
I had to call the office to restore service. The supervisor I spoke to ALSO argued and had to be directed to her own guidelines, despite claiming to have addressed my multiple written complaints.
These employees don't know what they're doing and they refuse to learn. I'll be contacting their oversight office in Denver.
