And it'll be the most subtle, unassuming envelope too.

When I was renting I had a stamp "Return to sender. Addressee not known at this address"
I do similar. Cross the name out with a Sharpie and write "MOVED".
After owning the place for two years now I just throw it out.
Just so you know, throwing mail away that isn't yours is a federal crime.
Yeah I work in a government department which among other things has to handle mail returned to it, and I know we mark addresses unreliable when mail comes back
I guess I just hope the electricity company and local government is as diligent
I'd wait until I had a few before making an effort to post the returns (Australia doesn't have mail pickup from your home mailbox; we have post boxes at local shops)
I did that for a couple years, and now I still get junk from the previous owner. I've been here 10 years...
Then again, now I get invitations to retirement stuff, so I guess that's cool (I'm nowhere near retirement, but the previous owner was about that age).
Yeah it took some 15 years for the letters for the people who lived in my house before me to stop
Yeah, I mostly just toss them now, but if I get a bunch all at once, I'll take a couple minutes to annoy the mail carrier with some "Not at this address" markings.
