“Picture of our collection — they are each about the size of a mini fridge.”
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if anyone else is seeing these giant containers for packages around. They started showing up in my building (small building with no front desk/concierge) over the past week — so far, we’ve collected two. They are always filled with Amazon packages for multiple addresses on our block.
I did a little Googling and apparently they are used by Amazon delivery drivers to organize deliveries and they are supposed to empty and take them with them after deliveries but it looks like drivers are just leaving the whole thing (maybe so they can get through deliveries faster?).
I contacted Amazon support and they said they are “sending the request to the right department” but I’m not optimistic they will resolve it. Is anyone else seeing these around and had any luck getting Amazon to come retrieve them? I guess there is always a chance another Amazon driver will grab them on a future delivery?”

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.
