The correct thing to do is to notify the carrier or local office and leave any mail in your box for the previous resident. A Post-It on the letters would be appropriate. Throwing out the mail is

Understand that your letter carrier and his/her substitutes are not perfect, but they generally do a very good job. Most USPS employees, my own included, take great pride in their work.

Throwing away mis-delivered mail is just fvcked up. You can put in change-of-address cards, and your mail may still be delivered to your old address. It might get delivered to the right number, but the wrong street. Happens all the time. No one has ever accused the USPS of being efficient. (even though they DO manage to deliver MILLIONS of pieces of mail correctly every day) Sh!t Happens. Hopefully, your tax eturn or some VERT important piece of mail will be mis-delivered to someone who thinks just like you do..
