Use Notice 890-A, Do Not Put In Compactor or Dumpster

Notice 890-A, Don't Throw This in Dumpster/Compactor

To promote Earth Day and USPS’ Green commitment, all facilities are encouraged to participate in the USPS recy­cling program.

Facility managers and postmasters participating in the USPS recycling program can use Notice 890-A to inform custodians of the wastes which should not be placed in trash compactors or trash dumpsters. Notice 890-A is an 8½ by 11 inch self-adhesive label printed on synthetic film that can be adhered to USPS-owned compactors and dumpsters. This notice can also be installed on leased compactors and dumpsters with the prior approval of the vendor. The success of USPS’ recycling program depends upon employee awareness, and Notice 890-A is intended to increase employee awareness of the requirements to recycle certain highly regulated waste streams and some waste streams that are valuable commodities in the mar­ketplace.

Note: Do not install Label 890-A if your facility is not pre­pared to recycle plastic. The Postal Service can make sig­nificant reductions in its solid waste disposal costs if employees and customers recycle. Notice 890-A is intended to reinforce the efforts of facilities aiming to achieve “zero waste” by 2015.
