Recycling junk mail
 
I bring all my mail home to recycle. I wonder why people don't.

Why doesn't TV put recycling bins at the postal stations?

:shrug: People might use for dog poop? They feel like most will take it home and shred it? There would be a mountain of old phone books? Who knows?

I open all the junk mail, if they have prepaid envelopes I mix all these up and put them in each others envelope and put them back in the mail. I make sure my name is not on any of the junk mail. This does a few things, now they have to dispose of it, it wastes their prepaid postage, it makes me happy :)

Junk mail gets so overwhelming but your solution helps keep the Postal Service employees employed.

The answer is for the Government to start charging junk mail postage at a rate that equals the actual cost to deliver it. Until then, I will dispose of the mail in the nearest trash can. My postal station has 5 trash cans. If not for junk mail, then why are they there?
