FREE AND GREEN
A pilot program launched by the Postal Service lets customers recycle small electronics and inkjet cartridges by mailing them free of charge.
The “Mail Back” program makes it easier for customers to discard used or obsolete small electronics in an environmentally responsible way. Customers use free envelopes found in 1,500 Post Offices to mail back inkjet cartridges, PDAs, BlackBerry devices, digital cameras, iPods and MP3 players — without having to pay for postage.
Postage is paid for by Clover Technologies Group, a nationally recognized company that recycles, remanufactures and remarkets inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges and small electronics.
“This program is one more way the Postal Service is empowering consumers to go green,” said Anita Bizzotto, chief marketing officer and executive vice president for the Postal Service.
The free, postage-paid Mail Back envelopes can be found on displays in Post Office lobbies. There is no limit to the nSumber of envelopes customers may take.
The pilot is set for 10 areas across the country, including Washington, DC, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Diego.
The Postal Service recycles 1 million tons of paper, plastic and other materials annually. Last year, USPS generated more than $7.5 million in savings through recycling and waste prevention programs. |
