What to do with mail that is not yours

What to do with mail that is not yours depends on the type of mail and your personal preferences. Here are some options:

1. Return to sender: If the mail is addressed to someone else, you can return it to the sender by affixing the correct postage and sending it back to the original address.
2. Forward to the intended recipient: If you know the intended recipient's address, you can forward the mail to them. You can use a forwarding service or simply write the new address on the envelope and send it.
3. Donate or recycle: If the mail is junk mail or not important, you can donate it to a local charity or recycling center. Many organizations accept mail and use it to raise funds or create new products.
4. Shred or dispose: If the mail is confidential or contains sensitive information, it's best to shred or dispose of it properly to protect the privacy of the intended recipient.
5. Contact the post office: If you're unsure what to do with the mail or if it's a package that needs to be returned to the sender, you can contact your local post office for guidance.

Some specific scenarios:

• Lost or misdirected packages: If you receive a package that's not addressed to you, you can contact the sender or the shipping company to try to locate the intended recipient.
• Undeliverable mail: If you receive mail that's undeliverable due to an incorrect address, you can return it to the sender or contact the post office to see if they can forward it to the correct address.
• Junk mail: If you receive unwanted mail, you can simply recycle it or contact the sender to opt out of future mailings.

Remember to always handle mail with care and respect, and take steps to protect the privacy and security of the intended recipient.
