Villagers already compromise by having to travel a mile or more to get their mail. That saves enormous labor costs. So the least they can do is provide trash cans adequate enough to handle the discarded mail.
Just one question----who is "they"????

Would that be the United States Postal Service which is the entity that "saves enormous labor costs"? Or are you suggesting that it should be that "evil, greedy developer" that needs to babysit mature adults to guide them into correct behavior???

Let's see----maybe 5 pieces of junk mail each for 800 homes = 4,000 pieces of mail stuffed into a few trash cans, overflowing often, OR, just maybe, a homeowner transports 5 ounces of mail home and the load is divided 800 ways. I also question how many homes are "a mile or more" away from their postal station. I'm sure there are some, but not many.
