Per Peter:
Most charities include a self addressed pre-paid postage envelope. If
it's a charity we know we'll never support financially, we write a short
note asking them remove us from their mailing list to save them the
expense of wasted mailings and save a few trees in the process. We mail
it back in their envelope. We've had good luck with that strategy.

I'm going to start doing that - seems like it *has* to work because very
reply via pre-paid envelope costs them money.

It *will* work. Just be sure to ask them to "Remove my name AND
address from their mailing list." Be sure to ask that b-o-t-h
be removed as I did it in the past without emphasizing AND so
the squirrels just removed my name the next time I got a mailing.
I quickly corrected that oversite and have not failed since to
ask for name AND address to be removed.
