Salvage Campaign
At Dover Air Base
Drive To Save Vital Scrap Reaches
Unprecedented Heights

a salvage program that has
been growing by leaps and bounds
during recent months at the Dover
Army Air Field. has increased
)Onthly salvage to unprecedented
peaks-5,0 S0 pounds of waste pap
or and 5000 pounds of tin cans in
December, for instance.
Latest innovation is the use of a
gallOn-tin-can rider" on waste
baskets to segregate and save vital
paper. Waste baskets are now
used ly for waste paper. with
all other refuse being deposited in
the gallon can for proper DISPOSE
ton.
The use of the rider" bucket al
ready has increased the salvage OF
waste paper. much of which for
merly was damaged beyond sal
wage because of mixing with other
refuse. ManpOwer is saved, too.
by segreating waste at the point Of
OriginatiOn. The rider" bucket is
hooked on the edge of the regular
waste basket.
Twenty times as much waste
paper and four times as much tin
can weight was salvaged in Decem-
Der as compared with July. ac-
cOrding to the year-end figures lust
released.
Two and one-half tons of paper
were salvaged in December alone
Fifteen tons of waste paper were
sold in the last Six months of 194l
and five tons remained on hand.
Thirty-two hundred pounds of
tin cans were Salvaged in Decem-
Der, with seven and one-half tons
being sold during the last six
months. Ten tons We're on hand
at the years end.
Occasionally, the problem is To
secure a buyer for some of the
salvage. although the principal
items such as tin cans, paper,
grease. bones. etc, have waiting
markets.
AT the present time. for exam
pie, the Quartermaster has nearly
2.oo0 glass jars stacked up in the
corner and no place to go. There
are 1878 pint, 81 quar- and 613
gallon jars. plus 1872 gallon Jugs.
PractiC1g what it breaches in
the matter of conservation and sal
wage. the air base through its
Quartermaster lists the following
totals in salvage during the past
six months tall figures are in
pounds:
Aluminum-2S,575 sold. 41.5S2
