6. Command and Signal
BO 5090.17
JAN 3 1 2011
a. Command. This Order is applicable to all MCB CamLej and MCAS New River commands to include tenant commands, prime contractors, subcontractors, non-appropriated personnel and all staff sections.
b. Signal. This Order is effective the date signed.
This SOP provides information, and identifies procedures and responsibilities associated with the collection and disposal of recyclable materials aboard MCB Camp Lejeune (MCBCL) and MCAS New River (MCASNR).
This SOP applies to all MCBCL and MCASNR commands, tenant commands, contractors working aboard Camp Lejeune, Reserve Units and any other command that disposes of solid waste (trash) and recyclable materials as part of their daily operations.
All Personnel
1. General Information
1 a. MCBCL and MCASNR landfills approximately 44,000 tons of solid waste per year. Approximately 24,000 to 29,000 tons of solid waste material are either recycled or treated for reuse aboard the base. This results in a landfill diversion rate of approximately 35 to 39% per year.
1 b. Solid Waste "diversion" can be met in a number of ways. Diversion can be broken down into three categories:
(1) Reduce - Carefully review command 'needs' and ensure procurement is limited to only the amounts required for operations. A good portion of solid waste is disposed of because it either goes bad (food) or reaches its shelf life (hazardous materials) prior to use.
(2) Reuse - Make an effort to find homes for good material you no longer need/want. The Marine, Sailor, Coast Guardsman in the other barracks may appreciate the item. For personal items look at the option of donating to the Thrift store (451-5591) or other donation center. Hazardous Material can be turned in at Building 908 for re-issue.
(3) Recycle - Obtain and maintain recycling collection receptacles for specific commodities with the intention that items will be marketed by the Qualified Recycling Program (QRP). Just about every commodity has a "market" for sale. Currently MCB CamLej and MCASNR sell the following commodities through direct sales and the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office: metals (aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, light metal, etc.), cardboard, mixed paper, used oil, batteries.
1 c. MCBCL operates and maintains a permitted Subtitle D solid waste landfill and a wood chipping, composting and concrete grinding facility.
1 d. Solid waste management, which includes recycling, is a time and labor intensive activity. Therefore, the more effort put into the proper segregation and collection of recyclable materials at the point of generation results in a more valuable commodity for sale through the QRP.

2. Recycling Challenges
2a. The following are challenges associated with recycling:
BO 5090.17
JAN 3 1 2011
(1) Contamination of waste streams. By throwing other wastes into recycling containers, we create additional work for the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) personnel during baling. The contaminants reduce the value of the commodity for sale and in some cases, prevent it from being sold. If recycling containers are continually contaminated, units will be required to remove items, and can potentially lose their recycling containers.
(2) Scavenging. It is illegal to remove recyclable material being collected in support of the QRP for personal gain.
(3) Vector/Pest control. Recycling collection bins, whether inside or out, are attractive to pests if not policed. Ensure metal or plastic containers that are suitable for recycling are rinsed prior to placement in the recycling collection bin.
3. UnlVBuilding Specific Practices
3a. Identify recyclable solid waste streams associated with your unit activities and daily routine, and determine if you actively collect these materials.
3b. Compare your waste streams to those currently being recycled aboard the base. See paragraph 1.b.(3) above. Contact the Base Landfill and Recycling Coordinator to increase your participation.
(1) Utilize one of the four Base Drop·Off locations.
(a) Piney Green Rd, Public Works, 451·2946.
(b) Courthouse Bay, Engineer School Support Services, 450-7360.
(c) Camp Johnson, Combat Service Support Schools, S-4, 450·0839.
(d) MCASNR, Environmental Affairs Dept, 449-5997.
(2) Utilize a bin located at an adjacent command.
(3) Coordinate with the Base Landfill to arrange for a bin to be located at your command cluster.
3c Obtain office recycling bins for paper, plastic, and aluminum cans from the Base Landfill and Base Recycling Coordinator. Obtain metal hoppers or other dumpsters through the Base Landfill (451-2946) or DLA Disposition Services Lejeune Property Disposal Specialist (451-0963).
3d. Utilize clear plastic garbage bags to line office recycling containers. Waste streams are easily identifiable when disposed of in this manner and require much less work on the back end by material handlers for baling. Clear plastic bags are available through ServMart.
(1) Unit deployments place a strain on trash and recycling dumpsters located at unit barracks. Units clearing out barracks should request a roll·off container from the Base Landfill for temporary large quantity solid waste disposal. Only unserviceable materials should be disposed of at the Base Landfill.
(2) Do NOT render an item unserviceable in order to dispose of it at the Base Landfill. Such action may be punishable under the UCMJ.
4b. Serviceable White Goods (ovens, microwaves etc), Furniture, Electronics
(1) These items require significant space for storage prior to sale and are not necessarily sold as 'recycled' products.
(2) Reuse is the preferred option for disposition. Ulilize local and community Thrift/Donation centers for items not belonging on a managed account.
(3) Items listed on a Property Account are required to be disposed of via Base Property or DLA Disposition Services Lejeune, accordingly.
4c. Hazardous Material Containers (aerosol cans, oil cans etc) and used oil.
(1) Turn in containers in accordance with BO 5090.9, Hazardous MateriallWaste Management.
(2) Turn in used oil/fuel in accordance with BO 5090.91, Used Oil/Used Fuel and Pollution Abatement Facility Management.
4d. Field Training
(1) MRE boxes are recyclable. Identified as 'boxboard' or 'paperboard', the large boxes contain resins for strength. Boxboard cannot be sold with regular corrugated cardboard, therefore, MRE boxes need to be collected separately from standard corrugated cardboard. Collect all large and smaller MRE boxboard in a separate container. Containers can be requested from the Base Landfill.
(2) Other recyclables are generated during field activities. Coordinate with the Base Landfill and Recycling Program Manager to discuss options for segregation and collection.

5. Environmental Management System (EMS), Solid Waste Working Group
5a. The EMS Solid Waste Working Group addresses solid waste and recycling issues encountered aboard MCBCL and MCASNR. The working Group meets quarterly to address landfill and treatment facility objectives, targets, and to address recycling program issues and/or concerns.
5b. ECCs and ECOs with specific unit level concerns are highly encouraged to become a member of the Working Group. Contact the Solid Waste Working Group Leader via the Lejeune Environmental Management Portal for inclusion on the Working Group roster. https://intranet.emportal.usmc.mil/sites/le/default.aspx. Click on the EMS link at the top left of the page, and follow to the Solid Waste Working Group.
5c. Contact the Environmental Management System Program Manager for additional information at 451-5003.
1. Recycling Container Support
1 a. Exterior Dumpsters: Units/Commands may submit a work request via their S-4 office to the Public Works Division, Work Reception Bldg 1005. The request should include unit name, building number, number of containers requested and where the containers will be physically located.
1 b. Interior/Common Area Containers: Units/Commands may submit a request to the Base Recycling Coordinator at 910-451-4214 DSN:751-4214 for container support. Interior bins are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Units/Commands may also purchase interior bins from ServMart as needed.

REGULATORY CITATION:
TRAINING:
EO 5090.17 JAN 3 1 2011
1 c. Pick· up Support: Exterior recycling dumpsters that have been formally requested through the Public Works Division and issued via the Landfill, are emptied on an asneeded/requested basis. It is the responsibility of the generating unit/command to transport recyclables collected from interior containers to one of 5, cQnsolidated recycle locations located throughout MCB Camp Lejeune. Contact the Base Recycling Coordinator at 910-451-4214 DSN: 751-4214 to confirm locations.
1 d. Contamination: Contamination of recycling containers is a common problem aboard the installations. The Base Landfill/Recycling Office's only avenue to curb such contamination levels is to remove a recycling container from a unit that habitually increases landfill workload, decreases the generation of a marketable material and exhausts valuable landfill space. Units that contaminate recycling dumpsters will be initially warned of the offense. Further unsuccessful attempts to eliminate contamination will result in removal of the recycling container until contamination concerns have been addressed.
2. Common Recyclable Materials
2a. The Landfill/Recycling Office collects, bales, stages and/or stores comingled paper, corrugated cardboard, plastics (#1-#7) and clear/colored glass. Scrap metals such as light and heavy steel, brass, aluminum and stainless steel are disposed of through the servicing DLA Disposition Services Lejeune via an electronic turn in document (ETID). For MCASNR commands, ensure that the proper MCAS recycling accounting number is entered on each scrap metal turn-in document (DD Form 1348-1 A) by including the following statement "Proceeds for the sale of recyclable material are to go to the financial account- 17F3875 27RM 00767001 0000027 3C 000000".
