December 26, 2011 (San Diego, CA) – Now that the holiday season is winding down, it’s time to figure out what to do with the packing material left over from holiday shipping. AIM Mail Center locations are helping solve this problem by collecting and recycling packaging materials. Members of the community are encouraged to bring foam peanuts and bubble packaging, and AIM Mail Centers will take care of the recycling process. “It is important never to simply throw away old packing material because most of it is not biodegradable, and it just takes up space in landfills,” says Steve Goble, Vice President of Marketing Communications for Annex Brands, franchisor for PostalAnnex+. “We believe in taking care of the environment, and recycling packing material is one way we can help our community embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle.” Goble also wants to remind the community that left-over packing material is not the only holiday item that can be recycled. Holiday lights contain glass, aluminum, and copper, which are all recyclable, and old Christmas trees can be turned into mulch or planted. For those who received new cell phones, the old phones can be turned back into the service provider to recycle. Old clothing can be donated to charitable organizations like Goodwill or the Salvation Army, making room for new clothing received during the holidays.
