Recycling Junk Mail Envelopes
A use or two for at least some of the junk mail you probably receive on a daily basis.
While much of it will hit your recycle box, you can still make some use out of junk mail, particularly the envelopes included with each offer you receive. These are perfectly good for use in sending anything you want through the mail. Just cover up the pre-printed address with your own label, and you’re good to go. Even windowed envelopes can be used by simply placing a label over the window. If you’re really bored, you could even align the address so that it is inside the envelope and visible through the window.
If your envelope supply starts to get out of hand (and if you get the junk mail we get, this shouldn’t take too long), grab a stack of envelopes for use as scratch paper to take phone messages, create shopping lists, etc.

Another use for recycled envelopes is to hold your coupons for shopping. I use one for the frozen food section. One for the rest of the groceries. One for house cleaning products. Another for facial cleaning, hair coloring, and other such coupons. And the entertainment one for the coupons I find like to get buy one meal and get another for free, or half off, at a restaurant in town. Or to for coupons to different stores here in town. When they wear out you can use them for notes, when on the phone.
There must be many other uses for those recycled envelopes!
