00:13.230 --> 00:15.397
there's a Joint Base Lewis mcchord are

00:15.397 --> 00:17.452
competing in a post wide competition

00:17.452 --> 00:19.690
against one another , sustainability

00:19.690 --> 00:22.110
outreach coordinator mariam easily says

00:22.110 --> 00:24.380
that the units are competing in the can

00:24.380 --> 00:26.102
drive are not only helping the

00:26.102 --> 00:28.400
environment but are contributing back

00:28.400 --> 00:31.320
to the post . The biggest thing I would

00:31.320 --> 00:34.040
say is all the money , all the proceeds

00:34.040 --> 00:36.151
and revenue from recycling comes back

00:36.151 --> 00:38.220
to the installation . So when we

00:38.220 --> 00:40.331
recycle cardboard here , it generates

00:40.331 --> 00:42.387
actually quite a bit of revenue . So

00:42.387 --> 00:44.553
that's probably the biggest reason . I

00:44.553 --> 00:46.664
mean , the other reasons , you know ,

00:46.664 --> 00:48.831
in my opinion , of course , is there's

00:48.831 --> 00:48.180
no such thing as a way . When you throw

00:48.180 --> 00:50.402
something away , you're not throwing it

00:50.402 --> 00:52.402
away , it's gonna go somewhere in a

00:52.402 --> 00:54.624
landfill or something like that . So if

00:54.624 --> 00:54.060
you can give it another life then

00:54.060 --> 00:56.860
you're decreasing landfill space that's

00:56.860 --> 00:58.916
needed , You're making the community

00:58.916 --> 01:01.020
prettier . You may not even realize

01:01.020 --> 01:02.853
that they are competing with one

01:02.853 --> 01:05.020
another for the spot of top recycler .

01:05.140 --> 01:07.251
The rules basically are you come in ,

01:07.251 --> 01:09.529
you bring your cans , they get weighed ,

01:09.529 --> 01:12.210
you give them your unit code . And then

01:12.220 --> 01:14.442
uh we have somebody over at M . W . R .

01:14.442 --> 01:16.609
Who calculates all that . You also get

01:16.609 --> 01:18.720
entered into this competition . Units

01:18.720 --> 01:20.776
get great prizes for their efforts ,

01:20.776 --> 01:22.720
but the public Works Environmental

01:22.720 --> 01:24.942
Department even goes and recognizes one

01:24.942 --> 01:28.010
individual that does their part . Um

01:28.010 --> 01:30.066
the units are broken up into small ,

01:30.066 --> 01:32.288
medium and large categories and there's

01:32.288 --> 01:34.232
1st , 2nd and 3rd places for every

01:34.232 --> 01:36.177
single one of those . There's cash

01:36.177 --> 01:38.288
prizes for up to $500 for first place

01:38.288 --> 01:41.630
and then the big grand prize is $600 .

01:41.640 --> 01:43.751
And it's the most consistent recycler

01:43.751 --> 01:45.640
of the year from Joint Base Lewis

01:45.640 --> 01:47.918
