CHICAGO (WLS) Residents of Mount Greenwood were not surprised to hear of 19 packages found in a resident s dumpster Tuesday, as widespread USPS delivery problems have been persistent. I think it s awful, mail needs to be delivered, said Mike Heraty. It s horrible people aren t getting their packages.
The resident who found the trashed packages brought them into her house, reported it on social media, and reached out to the US Postal Service. A Postal Inspector came to her home to retrieve the packages, 19th Ward Alderman Matt O Shea said.
O Shea said most of the packages appeared to be holiday gifts and the addresses on them were for the village of Evergreen Park. He said the post office told him they will be delivered Wednesday.
