Recycle small electronics for free through the USPS
The USPS started this recycling program last year (in select Post Offices), I just found out about it. Customers can get free mail-back envelopes for recycling inkjet cartridges, PDAs, Blackberries, digital cameras, iPods and MP3 players and other small electronics. If your local Post Office doesn’t currently carry the bags, be sure to request them at the counter.
Postage is paid for by Clover Technologies Group:
The company recycles, remanufactures and remarkets inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges and small electronics. If the electronic item or cartridges cannot be refurbished and resold, its component parts are reused to refurbish other items, or the parts are broken down further and the materials are recycled. Clover Technologies Group has a “zero waste to landfill” policy: it does everything it can to avoid contributing any materials to the nation’s landfills.
If your Post Office doesn’t carry the envelopes, you should request them from the counter.
