The Postal Service™ will observe America Recycles Day on November 15, 2025. It is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of conservation and recycling.
The organization launched its National Recycling Operation (see blue.usps.gov/sustainability/national-recycling-operation.htm), or NRO, in 2013, to streamline postal recycling efforts nationwide.
The NRO established hubs to handle backhaul recycling, which takes advantage of existing transport equipment to bring recyclables from delivery and retail units to the hub. Recycling Standard Work Instructions are communicated and available to employees (see usps365.sharepoint.com/sites/RecyclingSWIs).
“America Recycles Day presents an annual reminder of the important role we play as employees of the United States Postal Service® and stewards of our environment,” said Jennifer Beiro-Réveillé, the organization’s chief sustainability officer. “Each action you take today — and every day — highlights the opportunity we can all take to collectively address the challenges facing our nation’s waste management.”
