Despite the fact that they're showing losses in the BILLIONS yet again this year, the government monopoly United States Postal Service is happy to report that they do a lot of recycling.
I didn't see any mention of a program for reloading or re-using spent shells, but they have a lot of stuff about what they do with paper. You know those Priority Mail boxes you're always taking from them, turning inside-out and reusing to ship with a real freight carrier? Yep, those are mostly made of recycled paper now.
At least they're doing SOMETHING. Going out of business and letting a little free market competition in on the game would be a better use of their efforts, I'd think.
The USPS started test pilot programs in 1,500 post offices to offer free "mail back" of select recyclable electronics. here's their press release. http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2008/pr08_028.htm
