Maybe if we didn't put anything in them, they wouldn't be there. They are there; so people do not take their junk mail home with them and recycle it.


It's a chicken/egg thing, I think. Someone has to break the cycle. I agree with the person who said if the cans were taken away, people would take their junk mail home and recycle it. And there wouldn't be any more dog poop in the containers if there are no containers.


It's not about anyone's personal happiness anymore, IMO. I believe if they took the trash cans away from the postal stations, people would not resort to throwing trash on the ground.
