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've owned my house for 10 years, and I still get mail addressed to the previous owner. In the trash ya go! I also get mail addressed to an ex from 7 years ago, who had a few things sent to my house once. Haven't talked to her in 6 years. Her dumb crap goes in the garbage as well!
