Recycling - Building 49
The depot has one of, if not the best, recycling programs in the state. Everyone in the state and the nation is becoming more and more concerned about protecting our environment and reducing the tremendous amounts of recyclable waste that goes into our landfills. With a dream and a lot of hard work, the depot recycles millions of pounds of scrap each year. This saves space in landfills plus money is made from selling these materials on the local market. This money is used for pollution abatement, depot safety, and for MWR operations. Recycling is the key to making the depot and the community a better place to work and play. In your work center, you will see recycling containers provided for your convenience. Call ext. 7727 for special pick-up.
