Actually, yes, though in my case the can was a wreck. I put it in the dumpster across the street.

Mailboxes must park on the other side of the street, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. All violators will be towed.

Call me crazy, but this seems perfectly logical for certain situations. Judging by the torn-up sandy bit of ground, his last mailbox was probably “taken out”, either by a snowplow or by a poor attempt to park his trailer (seen in the background). Either one of those things could happen again, so it only makes sense to make your mailbox mobile. All you have to do is remember to drag it out of the way before it snows.

I threw away an old mailbox and the attached chunk of cement at the bottom. I was somewhat pleasantly surprised they took it, given how poorly it fit inside

What you don’t see is the shredder in between, providing security against identity theft.

And that satisfies the last requirement for a Cert. of Occupancy…

Who’s going to get confused first, the mailman or the garbage man?

Yes. I put a sign on it that said “please take with other trash.” Someone other than the collectors picked it up and left the sign. One of the workers rang the bell, thinking that we’d discontinued service for some reason, and were asking them to take their can with them.
