RE: [greenyes] Recycling evicted from Post Offices

Should we understand that this is a nation-wide policy?  Are they also
removing the trash cans from the P.O.s?

Hello out there,

Apparently there is a "No Recycling Policy" for the US Postal Service, and
we received notice that we have to remove our free recycling bins from the
local post offices by Friday.  The reason - we are discouraging purchases
from mass mailings by providing recycling options for "bulk mailings."

Check out the front page of our local paper:

Are there any other smaller, rural recyclers that have recycling bins in
Post Offices that are also being evicted?

Any advice before we chain ourselves to the bins?

Thanks,
