Recycling INCENTIVES Program
The Recycling Incentives Program (RIP) offers units, directorates, and tenant organizations the opportunity to actively participate in an incentive-based recycling program that provides a monetary voucher in exchange for contributions of recyclable material to the installation Qualified Recycling Program (QRP).
ONLY RIP eligible recyclable material: aluminum cans, plastic bottles, shredded office paper, and cardboard.
Current disbursements for materials: aluminum = $1/lb.; plastics = 50 cents/lb.; shredded paper and cardboard = $25/2000lbs.
Other materials are accepted for recycling at the Recycle Facility, but are not part of the RIP.
The RIP tracks the weights of the materials and distributes vouchers quarterly. Vouchers are distributed in increments of $100. The voucher is valid for use at any DFMWR facility.
