Do you tip police or fireman? They are providing us as valuable a service as sanitiona and postal employees.?

Police and fire personnel make a lot more than sanitation workers or our contract mail people. So, no, I don't tip them but I do drop a plate of goodies, which seem to have always been appreciated. The mail people bid on their jobs. Sadly, they usually make below minimum wage. Sanitation workers here actually make a semi-decent wage but not enough for the thankless job they do.
I don't see it so much as a tip but more of a way to thank these people and let them know their appreciated. And don't forget your paper delivery person!
