Post Office Experiments with Free Electronics Recycling

Original post provide by Latest News from AJAXWORLD MAGAZINE

The US Postal Service has started piloting a program that will let people recycle small electronics and inkjet cartridges for free by mail. The postage will be paid by Clover Technologies Group, a company that recycles, remanufactures and remarkets inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges and small electronics. If the electronic item or cartridges can’t be refurbished and resold, its component parts are reused to refurbish other items, or the parts are broken down further and the materials recycled.
