25.375 billion pounds of mail per year.
In 2008, the USPS processed 203 billion pieces of mail.
Most mail is represented by a 1 ounce envelope; however, packages and other larger items are mailed frequently, so we can assume that the average weight of a piece of mail is more than 1 ounce.
Using 2 ounces, 203 billion pieces will weigh about 406 billion ounces.
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 406 billion oz / 16 oz/lb = 25.375 billion pounds of mail per year.

How is mail processed in a post office?
How is Mail process
Does the US postal service deliver mail on Saturday?
Yes. But they do not deliver on Sunday and they do not process new collection mail on Sunday. Even if a post office is open on Sunday, any mail they accept will be held at the post office until Monday. The processing centers do process mail already in the system on Sundays.
What happens to mail with wrong zip codes?
Mistakes like the wrong zip code are usually found during the sorting process at the local Post Office. The mail is then corrected with the correct zip code. Sometimes the mail is simply returned to the sender.
Does a returned mail piece need new postage to forward to the correct address?
As of July 2012, the USPS will NOT forward mail if there is a one line drawn through the incorrect or former address, and then forward. Now the process MUST include going to the post office, or filling out form online ($1.00 charge online or phone) to have mail forwarded for 15 days to 6 months. The catch is that it takes the post office 15 days to process the forwarding of mail, and by then many who are awaiting their forwarded mail now have delayed bills, and incurring late fees. The post office does NOT want to do their JOB any more. Forwarding mail simply by lining out and writing the forwarded address will NOT cover the expenses of the mail person to pick up the mail and redirect (even though they are going to the post office anyway). Another tidbit of information, because the USPS knows they have this problem, they are now offering Priority Mail forwarding service for nearly $16 per month to forward you mail.
