The Reason for Our Success

Three main reasons for our success

Challenges to Success Creation of a Materials Diversion Center

Never done before Cost too much

Recovery of transformers as scrap (earned $25k) Not recognized as an asset - education

Recovery of over 10,000 toner cartridges Herding cats

Reuse of 2000 tons of ties and 4 miles of rail Too hard

Redistributed radar-reflective netting to troops in theater No one’s job

The reason for our success is the attitude of the program managers

What’s it to me?

• Zero waste is an important goal• Not an easy goal to achieve• We are making great progress

The common denominator: success comes from the people working the issues

• The way we’ll keep moving forward- Continue to be innovative

- Keep looking for opportunities- Be a salesman and educator- DON’T GIVE UP
