Recycling Centers in Fort Bliss, Texas

Fort Bliss Recycling Center

The Fort Bliss Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) aims to increase recycling, divert waste from landfills, and preserve natural resources. The program accepts scrap metal, wood pallets (to be stacked away from recycling and trash bins), and ink cartridges for recycling. Guidelines include not placing cigarettes, MREs, explosives, or ammo in bins to prevent fires, keeping outdoor bin lids closed during stormy weather, and maintaining a clean area around bins. Additional recyclables can be taken to the Military Installation Collection Area SY014. The program also runs a Recycling Grand Challenge to promote recycling and educate units, with winning units receiving a $3,000 award. The program conducts building inspections to ensure proper recycling practices and offers a Recycling Hero Program to recognize individuals who excel in recycling efforts. Visitors can volunteer, compete in challenges, and assist with outreach to be nominated as Recycle Heroes at the yearly event.
