UNM Mailing Systems is developing a way to reduce the amount of unnecessary paper materials generated within the university as a response to growing concerns about paper waste. Currently Mailing Systems generates campus mailing lists to target specific employees, based on selected criteria for departments who wish to send out notices, marketing materials and other information to the campus.
In addition to the mailing lists, Mailing Systems will now offer an “opt-out” option for employees who do not wish to receive any materials. Employees can submit their Banner ID’s via an email to UnivServ@salud.unm.edu beginning Sept. 3.
Once Mailing Systems receives the e-mail, they will remove the individual from the mailing lists. An online form to “opt-out” will be available in mid-September on the Mailing systems’ web site at http://mailingsystems.unm.edu.
By mid-September there will also be a departmental option in which a department head can choose to “opt-out” the entire department by submitting the appropriate org code or codes to UNM Mailing Systems.
Mailing Systems is also launching a system to reject mass mailings that do not relate to the University’s mission. Currently some of this is recycled, and some is delivered if it is properly addressed. When you receive mail that you do not want and wish to stop receiving, simply bundle it up and leave it in the outgoing mail, marked “Remove from List.” Mailing Systems will inform the companies to remove the name and address from their mailing lists.
