Default Recyclables are not trash

Why would they have trash cans at the mailboxes? Same reason they have them thousands of places all over the villages. So people can dispose of trash.
Cigarette butts, chewing gum, candy wrappers, tissues etc are trash, hence the trash cans everywhere. Most junk mail is recyclable. Why not keep it out of the landfill?
