I send super nasty emails to companies who leave their garbage on my door, or who knock. I have a hand-written no soliciting sign, and according to my state’s laws, that means I have lawfully requested to be left alone, and anyone who knocks or leaves their junk is trespassing and can be reported to the police and fined for doing so. Repeat offenses can lead to criminal charges.
