Every kilogram of UK stamps - around 6,000 - is worth about £10. The used stamps are bought by dealers who pick out any unusual or valuable ones in very good condition to sell to collectors.
Good idea. there is also this way charities can cash in on stamps – I didn’t realise it was done by weight though: “Stamps are sold by weight, meaning that many charities can turn old ones into funds to help their ongoing work.

In the UK, you would need to change a law in favour of people rather than business — so not going to happen. “We are legally obliged to deliver all addressed mail, which includes mail that is addressed “To the Occupier” (or with any other generic recipient information), as well as mail that is personally addressed to you by name.”
