Show HILLTOP TIMES TIMES 13 August 9, 2007 BETH YOUNG/Standard-Examiner Left, Patrick Malloy sifts through the contents of a bin. Top, among the normal paper waste, Dieter Eckels finds evidence of an office party. DUMPSTER From 11 Air Force bases recycle 30 percent of their trash. "Hill AFB has always strived to be a good steward of the environment and set a good example for the local communities," Chard said. There are start up funds for improving the recycling program at Hill, but in the long run it could help pay for itself — the less garbage, the less to pay to have it taken away. "When you recycle, you get your garbage collected less frequently because you are pulling so much out," said Eckels. The contractors who went through Hill's garbage said that they didn't find anything too out of the ordinary, but they have gone through the trash in New York, Los Angeles and even the Pentagon. "The garbage here has been great so far, compared to other places," Eckels said. "It*s dry here, versus Seattle. That gets really wet, slimy and gross." The garbage even revealed the living habits of some the base's residents. "We were over in the barracks the other day and it was just a lot of take-out containers," Eckels said. "Those guys do not cook for themselves." For more information on the study, call Paul Berts at 7778791. New service coat to better represent airmen set for testing a variety of body types.
