Hah!

More like 512.5 million pieces of garbage and about 500k pieces of actual, useful, mail.

The USPS is now in the business of moving garbage from one office to another. They're garbage men.

The PO on the small island I live on has a half dozen large trash cans and every day they are flowing over with junk mail.

It's hilarious.


Uhhh? The U.S. Post Office( in your area) is trashing mail instead of delivering
it? Junk or not ( their opinion), they supposed to deliver.


I imagine what he is saying is the post office garbage cans are full of unsolicted junk mail discarded by the post office box holders when they pick up their own mail and not the by the postal employees. I know that's the way it is at our P.O. too.

When I occasionally pick my stuff up at the Post Office, that's the 1st thing I do. The junk goes right into their garbage can, to save space in mine.

Both FedEx Ground and UPS Ground have surprisely wide coverage with next day, 2nd day or third day time in transit being the norm in many areas of the country.

That only counts depending on where you live. I live in the boonies. UPS is pretty good, but the Fedex driver routinely skips delivering if he just doesn't want to come out this far (not that he'll admit that on public record). If the roads are iced over, neither one will come within 5 miles of my house. The mail lady delivers even if there's a blizzard blowing outside...........

I believe he ment the trash cans were for the patrons use. I know the rural post office where I have a P.O. Box has trash cans in the lobby and they do get used quite liberally by patrons who have P.O. Boxes here.

You guys got it.

Folks pick up their mail at the PO and 90+% of it goes into the garbage before they walk out.

I'm tellin' ya....they've become garbage men.

You have only the internet to blame for the drop in usable mail. My mail hasn't decreased a bit in the last 10 years but most of the stuff I want comes in and out electronically.
