This is the link to use to report junk mail that you get due to mail droppers ignoring your mailbox sign.
In particular I'd like to bring attention to all the real estate agency junk. They really seem to think the law doesn't apply to them.
Report report report otherwise council doesn't know how bad this BS issue is.

I didn’t even know this was a thing I could report!
To add, [here’s the ADMA junk mail registration](https://adma.com.au/regulatory/do-not-mail). It won’t stop everything, but will prevent some unsolicited mail.
I’ve used this a few times.
With real estate agents the first time it happens, it helps if you contact the agent via text (so you have proof in writing) and include a photo of the offending junk mail (so you have proof of their junk mail) and ask them to stop.
They will always tell you the exact same lie… “Oh, I’m sorry, that’s our deliverer. I’ll let them know”, but that’s fine.
Then, when it inevitably happens again and you make a formal complaint against them, they can’t try their “Oh, it was a mistake” bullshit to try and get away with just a warning.
Can confirm they actually follow up!
Take pictures of the junk mail on the day and fill out the form. First time, I got an email to advise the companies had been contacted.
A couple of the fuckers kept going. A few days after the second report, I got a phone call advising that there had been a harsher follow up than the first time (though they didn’t say what it was).
No junk mail ever since.
Got a call from a feckin RE agent even tho I’m on the don’t not call register and crickets. Glad to hear SOMETHING works with those parasites.
Also 1 star review the company! How can they be trusted to manage your home if they can’t follow basic “No Junk mail” instructions
I have done this a couple of times for the same agent and both were followed up promptly. A few people have complained about the same thing in the local community page and the REs always say something like “it’s just kids handing out flyers, they don’t know”. If a kid is old enough to be riding their bike around delivering flyers on their own, they know how to read.
Wish this covered political mail too
Door to door salesman are more of an issue. Literally having to tell someone to get off my property i am not interested multiple times is beyond a joke near harassment. I’m literally in my garden enjoying some quiet time. Fuck off.
