I aspire to empty inboxes which I have more or less. Am never swamped. I don't have a use for junk mail but if you do- (such as if you need to subscribe to stuff to get discounts and etc. for shopping) I'd recommend a dedicated email just for that purpose for organization sake. You waste a ton less effort/time that way.
I have 2 emails more or less, one for exclusively job applying/work purposes, and another for everything else that's "off the clock." With a 3rd email that's only for junk mail to get coupons and other such similar crap if I have a use for that eventually.
So I'd maintain 2 empty inboxes with 1 inbox having junk to skim through each day. If I don't get back to the junk email in a while, would probably automatically delete everything except the most recent few days or current week. An expired deal or offer is no good anyways.

Basically the same (I also note that a lot of these spam mail companies I get share the same postal address). Junk mail goes straight in the recycling, spam email sits ignored in my spam filter and calls and door-to-door get a very firm "Not interested, thank you."
Such spam mail deliveries don't bother me personally.
The only time I ever recall being annoyed was when I happened to be with my parents and they got a call by one of those unsolicited callers that had called repeatedly (those people who prey on the elderly). I dealt with it and they got an earful. Apparently, they didn't call back.
Which brings me to a point related to the OP -- sometimes, those "No Junk Mail" signs are stuck there by concerned relatives to prevent their vulnerable parents/grandparents getting hounded by "You have won a grand prize; just buy X-amount of products" (and ending up on "suckers' lists"). So, yeah, I do think it's pretty unethical to ignore those signs.

Sure it would be nicer to ignore drop areas with said signs, but it's not big deal in my mind. Just trashing the junk mail would be failing to do your job as a delivery person, so I can see why you wouldn't do that.
Junk mail should be made of bio-degradable stuff though, because that shit is most definitely mostly going in the bin the vast majority of the time.
