Can you not where you are? In Canada, you can just tell Canada Post to not deliver them and they'll stop within a couple weeks
Nope, it's a revenue generator for the USPS so they just slide in adverts that aren't addressed to your address or any particular person. Zero recourse other than not receiving any mail at all.
This is on top of all the shit that is addressed to you that you can slowly try to fight and unsubscribe from. Catalogs and 'current resident' shit.
