This is a fantastic idea - congrats murtza! Our little startup does something in the same spirit, but for various types of junk mail (including magazine/catalog subscriptions): http://www.paperkarma.com.
Basically you download the smartphone app, snap pics of mail you don't want, it/we figure out who sent it & unsubscribe you.

What about the stupid newspaper that gets thrown in my driveway and then sits there and turns into mush when I am on vacation. Are those stoppable in any way? It seems to be some kind of local paper with a whole bunch of advertisements and coupons.
rdtsc unfortunately as our faq says, "EDDM" (Every Door Direct Mail) or most mail addressed to "Current Resident" cannot be stopped. These are carpet bombed on a zip code/route basis (and a huge money maker for the USPS). Only legislation can stop it. But if your name appears on the junk mail, chances are reasonably good that it can be stopped.
I created this Wiki because a lot of companies make account cancellation and deletion information hard to find. The goal with WikiCancel is that before signing up for something you can find out how hard it will be to cancel it.
It might also be good to list how to find some of the subscriptions that try to hide that you've signed up like a number of shady SMS services like to do.
One somewhat-relevant thing I would like to see is a cheat sheet for the phone menu. For example, under Verizon, you provide the phone number but I'd have to sit through a long message before figuring out what information I need to go through the automated system
