I agree that removing the trash cans is the most sensible solution. I don't generally see poop anywhere else on my walks thru the Villages, so I don't expect most people would leave it on the ground at the post office. If you fenced off the grassy areas by the post office so dogs couldn't get in their, it would help. And the added bonus is, people would carry their junk mail home with them, and possibly put it out curbside for recycling. As it stands now, all the junk mail going into the trash bins at the postal stations does not get recycled, which is a pet peeve of mine.
What would be nice is if they just took a few postal stations and did a study. Remove the trash receptacles and see what happens. If people are littering their junk mail and/or dog poop, then you'd have to try something else.
