The United States Postal Service (USPS) is expanding its Post Office Box Lobby Recycling program by an additional 2,435 post offices. The expansion brings the total number of participating sites to more than 8,064, an increase of 150 percent from 2005, when the Post Office Lobby Recycling effort started.
"Lobby recycling helps divert paper waste from landfills, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from solid waste disposal," says Deborah Giannoni-Jackson, vice president, employee resource management, USPS. "In 2009, the Postal Service sold raw materials from recyclables, diverting them from landfills, making us greener and producing a positive impact on our bottom line."
A complete list of participating "Read, Respond, Recycle" Post Offices can be found at www.usps.com/green.
