I live in Georgia, and I have a very unreliable trash service, recycling pickup is extra and it is not cheap, the can they give you is actually incredibly small. And we get so much damn mail here. I saved up all the junk mail that I get for a month and that’s after I signed up for the FTC program to stop getting stupid commercial spam mail. I have an entire plastic tub of just trash junk mail that I get. I don’t even know what to do with it anymore. My paper shredder can barely handle it, I am constantly just storing tons of trash in my garage because there is no way I can keep up with it… I’m considering getting a commercial paper shredder to deal with this bullshit, because it helps to compact it into a smaller size but still, why should I have to deal with that? I am like so confused how to deal with all this crap. I ordered one thing from Amazon and it came with so much packing materials and cardboard filling in it, now I have to take a trip to my local dump that I don’t even have time for… Just to get rid of this stuff. We are literally in the midst of a trash crisis.
That’s interesting, I don’t believe that’s something we have in the US. Postal carriers here are not permitted to refuse to deliver junk mail. Doing so ends up falling under mail fraud here, and some postal workers have gotten into major trouble for doing things like removing junk mail or political fliers from people’s deliveries.
