US Postal Service Helps You Recycle
March 31, 2008 by Peggy
The United States Postal Service recently launched the pilot program of Mail Back, allowing customers to send small electronics and inkjet cartridges to recycling heaven without charge.
That means you don’t have to pay postage for a change. Has the post office ever allowed us to mail anything for free before? I can’t recall that. You also use a free envelope, located at the post office, for Mail Back.
According to the recent press release, postage is being picked up by Clover Technologies Group, a company that recycles, refurbishes and remarkets the very things you’ll be mailing in. They have a “zero waste to landfill” policy.
If the pilot program is successful, a national program could launch as early as this fall. Some of the pilot areas include Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, DC.
Easy access to very free recycling for dysfunctional PDAs, digital cameras, iPods and more stuff like that — good job post office.
