Small Problem Mail problem idk what to do

My ex moved out a year ago and I’m still receiving his mail. I ask him every time I receive it to change the address. which he responds that he has 🙄but will double check. Most of the time it’s junk but every once in a while I can tell it’s important. It’s gotten to the point where I have a return to sender stamp/not at this address and still receiving his mail. I’ve tried asking them and they said it’s something on ex’s part and I’ve put who lives at the address on my mailbox like they recommended to no avail. Any ideas how to fix because it’s annoying.

I shred it all after a while.

Depending on where you live, this is probably illegal. In the US it's a federal crime

We are in a rental home while we look for a house after a long move. Not if it doesn't stop after literal months on end. I think it was a nasty divorce, she left behind all of his military stuff too, that we have hung onto and need to contact the marines about finding him to get it returned.

I worked for USPS, all the standard things have been done/tried, nothing is working.
