try this way 
String s = acc.BillingPostalCode;
String s2 = s.mid(1, 5);
zip.add(s2);

mid(startIndex, length)
Returns a new String that begins with the character at the specified zero-based startIndex with the number of characters specified by length.
This method is similar to the substring(startIndex) and substring(startIndex, endIndex) methods, except that the second argument is the number of characters to return.
Example- 
String s = 'abcde';
String s2 = s.mid(2, 3);
​System.assertEquals( 'cde', s2);

Thanks
