Quality recycling program

With the growing demand on the installation from our expanding population, our winter gear is looking to not only get an overhaul this year but also some significant additions so there'll be a greater selection of gear. This is due in part to the funds we received from the Quality Recycling Program. On station, the recycling program is a revenue-generating activity.

By taking all of our shredded paper and sorting and removing our recycled waste, the QRP generates annual income that goes directly back into MCAS lwakuni.

An approval process for the funds generated by QRP goes through a committee which allocates to separate entities on station including MCCS. A portion of the funds goes to maintenance for the QRP program.

After that, the committee allocates funds for procurement, such as new equipment. After that, the QRP committee decides on how much goes to the air station under criteria like pollution abatement, composting, alternative fuel vehicle infrastructure support or vehicle conversion, energy conservation, and occupational health and safety. Once those funds are spoken for, what is left is voted on for potential MCCS initiatives. This year, the funds available went to Outdoor Rec.

With the QRP funds from selling our recyclables new snowboards, skis, boots, helmets, and parkas will replace or add to the gear currently available. Also, Outdoor Rec will add new camping gear including tents, tables, chairs, stoves, sleeping mats, and cookware. These purchases wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the QRP. A growing population and demand can bring the possibilities of logjams at the gear issuing facility.

Our Outdoor Rec gear is available free of charge for up to three days. That said, the staff recommends if you want to rent snowboard or ski gear this winter for the weekend, it would be best to be first in line Thursday morning.

Unfortunately, not every dollar from the QRP goes to maintaining our Outdoor Rec stock, we now have to charge for use of select equipment. Recently, MCCS lwakuni was notified of a reduction in appropriated funding support. Because of this reduction, decisions were made to make select changes to hours of operation and pricing at several locations. All changes were assessed with the intent of minimizing impact to the community.

As an organization, we are constantly looking for ways that we can better serve you with available resources. What is QRP?
