USPS cardboard envelopes are commonly used for shipping small items. Instead of throwing them into the trash, there are several ways to responsibly dispose of them:

  • Recycle: USPS cardboard envelopes are made of recyclable material. Remove any tape or labels, flatten the envelope, and place it in your recycling bin.
  • Reuse: If the cardboard envelope is still in good condition, consider reusing it for other shipping needs or for storage purposes.
  • Donate: Some local charities or schools may accept clean and intact cardboard envelopes for arts and crafts projects.

Remember to always check with your local recycling facility or waste management service for specific guidelines on recycling cardboard envelopes. It is important to properly recycle or reuse these envelopes to help reduce waste and protect the environment.
