This is why people are told to NOT put their "junk mail" in the trash containers. Really rude. If everyone did this, the trash would have to be emptied several times a day.

What is the difference - the trash can at the postal station or your garbage ? Is this not like film Vs digital ? What a waste of money and resources !

At least they didn't throw it on the ground. First good breeze and half of it will be on the ground and headed into the brush or ponds. Some people have yet to become civilized.

It's really not that much "junk mail"..... the bottom half is mostly dog $hit.

P.S. It would be full but half don't pickup.

Think you missed the point. Not like film vs digital. It is about junk mail disposal responsibility. Take your junk mail home and put it in your trash. The receptacles at the postal stations are not dumpsters for your household trash, which is what junk mail is.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I disagree. Are told by whom? My mail station on has 5 of those trash cans. They are obviously located there for junk mail. What else are people supposed to use them for? If they are not for junk mail, then remove them and save money. Nobody ever told me not to put junk mail in them. I will continue to use those trash cans for junk mail, like most logical people do.

You nuts? It’s a trash can. People throw dog waste in bushes, so what’s worse? What are the cans for?

I am interested in solutions. A simple one would be a larger can. I expect if, we went through the trash it would be easy to see the guilty parties. Not rocket science, no need for Sherlock Holmes-name and address is on it.

Truly simple solution-a bigger can or more of them.

Who is guilty? Also simple. Address is on it.

Sorry you missed the point - why are we generating this junk mail to begin with. Garbage is garbage. Perhaps you subscribe to the it's OK as long as it is not in my backyard.

OP, please explain this thread. There are signs to tell you to not put animal feces in the trash cans. There are 5 trash cans at my mail station. You are telling us to not put junk mail into the trash cans, and that it is rude. So, please explain what is the purpose for having 5 trash cans at a mail station. Since, I am paying for them and for someone to empty them, I would like to use them. But, I have no idea how to do that. How am I supposed to use the trash cans that I am paying for?

[villagetinker]

OK, I never throw junk mail into these trash cans after I saw someone REMOVING mail, think identity theft or similar All of the mail in our mailbox goes home looked at and trashed at home or shredded as necessary.

I sure hope you stuffed the material on top
of the trash can inside it, or into one of the
other trash cans nearby,
so it wouldn’t blow away!
