RICHMOND, Va. — Video obtained by CBS 6 shows dozens of pieces of mail, including bills, cards, and tax documents, discovered dumped in trash cans behind Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Richmond.
The incident is now being investigated by the Postal Inspection Service.
A church worker went outside to check on the trash when he found stacks of mail bound by rubber bands, discarded in two separate trash cans.
Among the items found were bills and important tax documents.
Upon discovering the mail, church staff contacted the post office, and J.J. Minor with the Richmond NAACP.
“It’s crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Minor said. “You’re talking about medicine, checks, cards, bills, W-2 forms… unbelievable.”
