Direct Sales of Recyclable Material

Abstract

This evaluation was performed in response to a request made by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Environmental Security) to examine a representative sample of installations having authority to sell recyclable materials that were purchased or procured with appropriated funds. United States Code, title 10, section 2577, on disposal of recycling materials provides the legislative basis for DoD to prescribe regulations for the sale of recyclable material. As of March 1996, Defense Logistics Agency records showed that 94 installations in DoD had been granted authority to conduct direct sales of recyclable materials. We visited 16 of the 94 installations that had been granted the authority. The installations visited had direct sales of about $ 1.5 million in FY 1995. Evaluation Objectives. The primary evaluation objective was to determine whether DoD policy pertaining to the direct sale of recyclable material was being followed at DoD installations having that authority. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the stated objective.
