Watch those warranty cards!
This is one of the biggest tools used by companies to build their mailing lists. You don't need to return the card most of the time, but if you do, leave the "lifestyle" section blank, giving them only your name and address. DO NOT put your phone number down, either!

Tell them when ordering by phone.
Make your preferences known to the operator taking the call that you do not wish to have your information sold, traded or rented to third parties.

Recycle what you can.
Some stuff is still going to make it through your fortress of anti-junk, so recycle what you can AFTER running it through a shredder. If you're not sure about your local recycling program, go to Earth911.org and check out programs by entering your zip code.
