Use Label 890-A, Recycle Plastic Wrap, and Label 890-B, Recycle Mixed Paper

To promote Earth Day and USPS’ commitment to sustainable practices, facilities are encouraged to participate in the USPS recycling program and use Labels 890-A and 890-B to increase employee awareness of the importance of separating mixed paper from shrink wrap and stretch wrap.

Facility managers and postmasters participating in the USPS recycling program should place peel-off Labels 890-A and 890-B on containers specifically dedicated to mixed paper and plastic. If your facility has not yet started a plastic recycling program, use Label 890-A to kick off your efforts to properly label containers used to collect plastic. These labels may be used in conjunction with Poster 890-A informing employees of the facility’s commitment to the recycling program. The success of USPS’ recycling program depends upon employee awareness, and Labels 890-A and 890-B ensure compliance with USPS recycling protocols. The Postal Service can make significant reductions in its solid waste disposal costs if employees and customers recycle.

Facility managers and postmasters should use the eBuy on-catalog requisition system to order Labels 890-A and 890-B from the MDC.
