From Dallas to Detroit, Nome to San Juan, and 115 national parks, memorials and historical sites in between, post office box customers can recycle mail at participating national park Post Offices, including those located at Crater Lake, Everglades, Grand Canyon, Kenai Fjords, Olympic, Redwood, Sequoia, Yosemite and Zion.
Recycling is also available in post offices at national historical sites including Cape Cod National Seashore, Gettysburg National Military Park, Minuteman Historical Park, Natchez Trace Scenic National Trail and near a number of presidential libraries.
Last year, the Postal Service recycled more than 220,000 tons of paper, plastics and other waste.
Recycling containers are locked and feature a narrow opening — about the width of a magazine, so the mail, and customer privacy, is ensured. Photos of the recycling containers and a complete list of participating post offices can be found in the USPS green newsroom and at www.usps.com/green.
