Veolia Environmental Services announced that its RECYCLEPAK containers for compact fluorescent lamps can now be shipped via the United States Postal Service.
The RECYCLEPAK program is pre-paid and includes the recycling container, protective poly liner and easy to follow instructions for return shipping and recycling. When ready for recycling, consumers can now give the package to any letter carrier or bring it to any of the 37,000+ USPS postal facilities for shipping.
"We’ve worked very closely with the USPS to design a program that’s safe and easy to use for residential customers," said Rob Wlezien, VP, Sales and Marketing for Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C.
"By working with the USPS, Veolia supports their efforts to deliver more than just mail. Their programs help foster community spirit, while educating and supporting worthwhile causes such as recycling," stated Barry Jordan, National Sales Manager at Veolia. "The USPS has long been an environmental leader through a variety of policies, programs and initiatives, including recycling mercury containing lamps," continued Jordan.
