As for what the INTENDED use of the postal station cans - there was a long thread on here a year or so ago about how they were NOT intended for junk mail.
You are correct that your fees help to pay for the dumpster rental at the rec centers. But, for Villagers or others to use the dumpster, it is technically considered illegal dumping by Florida law. On the other hand, the rec centers do not seem to be inclined to enforce the law. If they wanted to do so, they could post a sign, use a camera to identify violators, and report them to the police.
