Property that is not requisitioned in this way is sold to private companies and individuals, usually in sealed bid auctions. Obtaining U. S. Government surplus . . . . . . If you recycle it, resell it to a secondary market, or reuse it within your organization, you come out ahead either by establishing a new profit stream, or by saving money. . . . The sale revenue received by DRMS helps reduce the national debt. . . . makes sense for the environment .
Any time existing products can be reused or recycled, the environment wins.
