Can anyone explain this to me ?

That's yet another thing to consider.....

All boxes and bigger trash gets burned, and doesn't even have to be bagged up and disposed of.

Any piece of mail that is presorted standard or nonprofit just goes into our UBBM (fancy name for a trashcan), and gets shredded at the main plant. It doesn't actually go back to the sender. There is a number you can call to remove your name from credit companies and stop the credit card offers. Otherwise once your name is on a list somewhere it's hard to stop it from being circulated.

If it has your name and address on it, you're getting it. We are contractually obligated to deliver everything we get, we aren't allowed to sort and pick aside from certain circumstances.

It's a pain but without all that junk mail a stamp would be double or triple what they are now, so there is an upside. Those businesses are subsidizing that cost in a way.

I know who put me on one list, the MO Dept Of Revenue, license division.  They sold my info.  How I got on others is a mystery.

You are carrying in more than think, but doing it in smaller increments a small  bag here and a small bag there.  A container with the lid off is two pieces of trash, a  meat pack turns into the foam plate plus the wrapping  film plus the blood pad that separates the meat from the foam tray; or three pieces of thrash. Plus the bag that carried the package is a fourth piece of trash.

Obviously the other inhabitants are bringing in way more than what you think.  They play along with your perplexing dilemma so you don't catch on.

Well they must be shoplifting then, cuz I'm the one that pays for everything.

No way.   The trash from one full grocery bag can be wadded up in one hand.    

Dude, I'm telling ya.....This is 2 days 

Are you kidding me ?  😳

I swear I see empty beer cans.  What did you do with the empty whiskey bottles?  Cover 'em up with the rest of the trash?

Looks legit.  Kids always seem to produce more than their share of waste.

Soda cans, coffee tin, keurig cup, milk or juice container...  Lots of beverage items.  A glass of tap water doesn't produce any waste. 😜  Is recycling a thing in your area?

[tjm]

Whoa,

a glass of tap water?

           Awe come on give him a break one is a diet coke can and the other I bet is too :).      BTW @fishinwrench Recycle those cans or at least drop them off for someone else to recycle. Actually, I have a good deal with the recycle place. I generally just give them to the guy. When I need something like stainless steel for sacrificial anodes for the E tank, he just gives them to me. I scored on some nice wire for trolling motor extensions from battery to plug in. He just says take it. The barter system is alive and well in BilletHeadVille.
