“I don’t know what to do as I don’t want my mail to get lost or stolen”

“Dear PoPville,

My letter carrier has taken to hanging my mail on my fence which causes it to fall all over the public sidewalk and get lost, stolen, or blown away. My mail slot is in my door, and for the past decade I’ve lived in this house no letter carrier has ever had any trouble delivering the mail.

I filed something with the Post master general as well as the postal inspection service and received a peculiar message referring to a conversation we didn’t have and referring to an attached file that didn’t exist. I don’t know what to do as I don’t want my mail to get lost or stolen, not to mention the huge hazard of putting slippery magazines and letters on the brick steps. Does anyone have any suggestions? I recognize that letter carriers have an incredibly difficult job, but dumping the mail like this creates a hazard for the other delivery services as well as the residents of our house!

My zip code is 20002 which is allegedly the worst place for mail in dc per my usps friend.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
