Same as not unwrapping unwanted packaging and leaving it at the store.
In truth, rather than trash cans, dumpsters would allow those that don't want to take junk mail home, a more practical size receptacle for that purpose. Problem then is that some would use them for excessive household trash and junk (old chairs, broken lamps, used auto filters, etc).
Fact is, this is just my opinion. I am not the trash police. Just a neighbor who likes his neighborhood and would like to keep it nice for everyone.

The problem with junk mail is not HOW we dispose of them, in my opinion. But that they fill up my mailbox in the first place. I know, I know, they subsidize mail delivery, but then they expect me to deal with it. Repeat junk mail from the same source often amounts to harassment. We would block it on our phone.
