                                                  As a WasteWise partner, your agency can save thousands,
                                                  perhaps millions, of dollars by reducing, reusing, and
                                                  recycling solid waste materials. Many WasteWise partners
                                                  discover that waste prevention reduces procurement costs
                                                  and waste disposal fees. In 1998, the United States Postal
                                                  Service Northeast Area reported saving $76,000 by
                                                  eliminating more than 1,000 tons of undeliverable bulk

                                                  and mail list management. The Northeast Area also saved
                                                  $2.3 million by recycling nearly 41,500 tons of paper, 106
                                                  tons of plastic, nearly 1,000 tons of metal, and 1,650 tons
                                                  of wood.                    "'
