Bombaugh retires as chief technology officer

He began his USPS career as a mechanical engineer

Scott Bombaugh retired as the Postal Service’s chief technology officer on June 30, concluding a 38-year career that focused on modernizing the organization’s mail and package processing and delivery infrastructure.

As chief technology officer, a role he assumed in 2020, Bombaugh helped create a network of integrated mail and package processing facilities. His team provided new and redesigned facilities with standardized floor and operating plans, as well as state-of-the-art processing and material handling equipment.

Previously, Bombaugh managed the organization’s business mail systems, package technology and material handling technology, and he launched programs that improved the capacity and capabilities of USPS processing operations.

His team was also instrumental in the development of mobile delivery devices, which changed the way USPS provides package tracking for customers.

Bombaugh joined USPS in 1988 as a mechanical engineer, helping develop automated package-sorting systems and package barcoding technology.

Brief

Printer cartridges should be recycled

The Postal Service is reminding employees to recycle their used inkjet and toner cartridges.

If cartridges were purchased from eBuyPlus, they can be recycled in their original packaging using the prepaid return labels they came with.

Cartridges can also be recycled using Click-N-Ship or through eDispose.

Most states prohibit the disposal of used electronics in the trash.

Recycling cartridges will help the Postal Service meet its environmental sustainability goals, including its aim to divert 75 percent of waste from landfills by 2030.
