Someone else's problem

Looking at my recycling pile this morning, I estimated that unsolicited leaflets account for at least 70% of the waste paper, by bulk.

I'm registered with the MPS to avoid personally-addressed junk mail and with the Royal Mail to avoid the unaddressed junk they deliver door-to-door, but I'm not sure what can be done about hand-delivered takeaway menus, estate agent solicitations, ****ing-Green-Party 'news'letters.

Any suggestions? About how to prevent unsolicited hand-deliveries, I mean – I know I could request that the Greens shove their propaganda elsewhere, but if I do, are they obliged to comply?
