N.J. P&DC Shutting Down in February

The U.S. Postal Service will be closing a processing and distribution center (P&DC) in Kearny, New Jersey this winter. 

A recent USPS presentation to employees of the Greater Newark P&DC in Kearny shows a target discontinuance date of Feb. 24, 2024. 

Package volume will be moved in stages over to the New Jersey Network Distribution Center, located five miles away, through February. 

The closure is attributed to “changes to the mail processing network and efforts to improve the work environment of employees.” The presentation also notes that the P&DCs equipment is outdated and was damaged during a September 2021 roof collapse.
