A new Lock and Key recycling program is now in place with CompX Security Products for all non-functioning locks and keys. The program allows the Postal Service™ to reduce the overall cost of manufacturing new locks by reconditioning existing locks or reusing some of the parts in returned locks. It also generates revenue for the Postal Service through selling brass scrap for locks or components that cannot be reconditioned. This effort aligns with the Postal Service goal to increase sustainability and decrease environmental impact.
All non-functioning PSIN O306A1, O306A2, O306B, O306D, O306P, O308, O910A, O910B, Arrow and Medeco Modified Arrow Locks (MALs) and keys should be sent to:
USPS Lock Return Program
CompX Security Products
PO Box 200
Mauldin, SC 29662-0200
Use Signature Confirmation™ when returning Arrow and Medeco MAL locks for tracking purposes and refer any questions about the program to National Materials Customer Service at 800-332-0317, option 4, then option 5 or email materials.customerservice@usps.gov.
Support the environment and Postal Service revenue generation by sending all broken locks and keys to CompX.
