CHICAGO — A U.S. Postal Service mail carrier delivered a pile of packages to a Mt. Greenwood woman's trash can Tuesday. 

While taking out the garbage around 3 p.m., Suzanne Walsh discovered 19

discarded shipping envelopes from retailers that should have been delivered to folks in neighboring Evergreen Park in the alley trash bin near 105th and Trumbull Street. 

"I'm a 27-year FedEx retiree. My first reaction was, 'Oh, come on. They can't throw away mail," Walsh said. 

Garbage day was Monday, so whoever discarded the packages did it in the last 24 hours, Walsh said. News travels fast in Mt. Greenwood Facebook circles, where Walsh posted a photo of the found packages on her kitchen table. About an hour after she found the packages, Walsh got a call from Ald. Matt O'Shea, who says his office gets complaints about mail delivery in the 19th Ward almost every day. 

"This is just another example of what an utter disaster the mail service is [in Mt. Greenwood]," O'Shea said.

      The powers to be recently prohibited postal police from leaving postal facilities and adjoining property. They can't do much policing if they can't leave the premises

    This is really an issue for Congresspeople Rush, Lipinski (outgoing) and Newman (incoming).

    The higher you pay someone, the less quality you get out of them. A lot of these people are making 6 figures to deliver a letter or package. Either they don't know what addresses are or they don't care because there are no repercussions.
