Petersburg, VA residents sound off over mail found in dumpster

PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) — Petersburg residents have received a letter in the mail from the Postal Service informing them that their mail has been found in an unlikely place: the dumpster.

Residents of Petersburg spoke with 8News and said this new development just adds to the poor service they have experienced from the Postal Service for months.

Randy DeCastro II, a Petersburg resident, spoke with 8News about the letter he received from the United States Postal Service concerning the missing mail.

“It’s more to it than what it seems. You find a whole dumpster filled with people’s mail in it there’s a reason why it’s going in there, it just doesn’t happen.” More at WRIC Petersburg, VA

  1. I mailed a gift card to my daughter for her birthday from the post office on Crater Rd in Petersburg…it never arrived.

    I filed complaints all over through every available USPS channel..they say there is nothing they can do for me. A Google search of the issue shows widespread problems with postal workers stealing gift cards…sad and scary.

    I don’t expect we will ever see an answer to the card being stolen. It appears that USPS now accepts theft by their own workers as part of their culture.
