WASHINGTON (AP) - In addition to delivering your mail, the
Postal Service will now help you recycle small electronics -- for
free.
Under a test program at about 1,500 post offices, you can pick
up a postage-free envelope to send in old cell phones, PDAs, MP3
players, inkjet cartridges and other small electronic items.
Clover Technologies Group will pay the postage and then
remanufacture and remarket the items. If the devices can't be
refurbished and resold, the component parts are reused in other
items, or are broken down further and recycled.
The tests are under way in several cities in California, as well
as in Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
