Stop catalogs for a hobby you no longer follow
After a hobby ends, its catalogs can keep arriving every month for years. Looking through them once and submitting a request for each sender you no longer want is quicker than waiting for them to stop.
How to stop catalogs from a former hobby
- Gather the hobby catalogs and check whether any still match something you do. A fly-fishing catalog, for example, may still be useful if you fish another way.
- If a catalog comes with a paid subscription or membership you still hold, contact that organization to change your mailing preferences.
- For catalogs with no account or subscription behind them, photograph each mailing label separately with the sender name readable. Review the prepared details, sign in, and submit each photo as its own request.
- Keep one catalog as a reference if you like. Set it aside before you submit anything, since you do not have to remove every catalog in a category.
Magazines that look like catalogs
Some hobby catalogs are really magazines, and they may come from a subscription, a gift, or a membership benefit. Look on the label for a subscription number or an expiration date. If you find one, contact the publisher to cancel or pause. A Junk Mail Magic request fits best when you have no account tied to the catalog.
Check back later
Many catalogs mail on a seasonal schedule, so a title may take a few cycles to stop. If one returns after a couple of months, contact the sender and mention your earlier request, or ask support at Junk Mail Magic support for help identifying the sender.

Photograph one piece you are authorized to handle, with the sender and full mailing label visible. Review the details before submitting. The first request is free; the sender controls the response.
