5-5.9 Donate

If the Postal Service has determined that goods have no residual value and if their disposal is unlikely to produce any revenue, the Postal Service may authorize the donation of the assets to another organization. Such donations should be to nonprofit organizations, state agencies, or public bodies and not to individuals. Organizations can include schools, charities, and volunteer organizations. Donations must be approved by the life cycle management team, and it must be confirmed by the market analyst that the assets have no significant market value.
