DIRECTORY MAIL RETURNED FROM
UNIT MAILROOMS
Mail that received directory service by unit mail
clerks or mail orderlies should be returned to the
serving postal activity separately from uncanceled
outgoing mail. MPO personnel should screen the mail
to make sure it is endorsed neatly and properly. If
incorrect directory procedures are frequently noted
after the unit mail clerk or mail orderly has been
briefed on correct directory procedures, the postal
officer should be advised.
PERISHABLE ITEMS
Perishable items that have a required delivery date
(RDD) and cannot be forwarded or returned to the
mailer before spoiling should be disposed of as waste.
Do not forward these items to the serving Mail
Recovery Branch. Also any perishable items
obviously spoiled when received, whether deliverable
or not, should be immediately disposed of as waste.
You should always dispose of perishables in the
presence of a witness and notify, in writing, the mailer
and addressee of your action.
