The U.S. Postal Service is offering eco-friendly packaging, calculators and environmental statistics through its new Greener Choices site.

The USPS already has programs in place to recycle small electronics by mail and compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) through a partnership with SYLVANIA. The new site reminds customers that almost all services offered at a post office are also available online.

Recycling by mail is growing in popularity, specifically with more companies offering take back programs for electronics. If you prefer to recycle in person, use Earth 911’s recycling locator to find options near you.
