Recycling Program Changes
4/30/2013
Big changes are being implemented in the Recycling Program at Fort Rucker! We have added new commodities and an incentive program - be sure to check out the new Recycling Brochure and updated recycling section on the website for complete details.
The incentive program pays organizations with DFMWR funds for bringing SEGREGATED recyclables to the Recycling Center. The type and quantity of materials turned in each quarter determine amounts. Unsegregated materials and materials picked up by the Recycling Center do NOT count towards earned credits in the program. EMS-WI-SW011, QRP Incentive Program, contains detailed information about how the program works. Commodities included and reimbursement rates are subject to change based on market conditions. Current materials included and reimbursement rates are:
· Aluminum Cans: $0.25/lb
· Cardboard: $20/ton
· Glass: $10/ton
· Paper: $20/ton
· Plastic Bottles: $0.10/lb
