(KL) MAIL ABOVE: Booker Sowell <cq> a mail handler, pulls large boxes and packages out of bins that then go onto a conveyor belt to be processed at the facility. This is the busiest time of the year for the Denver Bulk Mail Center at 7755 E. 56th Ave with the Christmas season in full swing. The facility is processing between 450,000 to 500,000 parcels, bundles, packages and letters daily as compared to about 250,000 the rest of the year. The facility processes mail for 11 full western states and parts of 2 others that being Nevada and Oregon. They service from the Mississippi river to the coast of California <cq>. To make up for the extra work they have changed the shifts from 2 8 hour shifts to 2 12 hour shifts and are running the facility 24 hours a day most likely well into January of 2008. They have also hired an extra 100 people for the day shift and 150 people for the night shift to help with the huge amounts of work to be done. Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post (Photo By Helen H.
