Military communities pay significantly more to dispose of unsorted refuse. I don't think we are getting our money back for glass and metal. We have flyers and other information available explaining how the SORT program works. Also people who need to get rid of tires and hazardous materials should go to the Stripping Yard on Nathan Hale or call the DEH for more information. We have five government housing areas and in every one we have recycling centers.
Some people are just too lazy to separate their trash.
In our area we don't have a landfill. It costs DM 750 a ton. Starting in 1997 trash will be checked to make sure recyclable items have been removed. If a red sticker is placed on a container, then it will sit there until someone goes out and separates it. A program in the 414th BSB is aimed at helping better explain the recycling process.
