      It’s mostly for the people processing it later on at a sorting facility. If they see a lot of boxes or it’s something expensive it’s especially important.

      Might be just an urban legend, but word of mouth was someone might target houses based on what they find. Maybe even someone else’s trash that just happened to be by your address.
