I pick them up all the time and use them myself.
Yes, they should reuse them and not sure why there not required to just throw them back in there mail bag or truck.

I pick them up and carry them into work with me. You see, as a not-for-profit, we're severely underfunded and every little bit counts... (USPS could learn a thing or two about saving pennies.)

There's something to be said for quality versus quantity. You should give it a try.

GrovePath -- with almost 7,000 posts -- is observing that someone has extra time on their hands. That's rich.

Clearly you have some time on your hands -- so maybe you should think big and call Staples rather than the Post Office.

Has anyone else noticed all the rubber bands left on stoops or entrance-ways or sidewalks by our local postal carriers? I know they bundle the mail with them, & apparently some carriers just let them fall where they may when unbundling.

I'm going to give a call to our main post offiice & offer a suggestion that the carriers stash the rubber bands instead of littering the neighborhood.
