The Quantico Base Recycling program has made some improvements that will raise funds to support on-base activities, such as fireworks, the annual holiday tree lighting and other family programs. But the program needs support from the Quantico community to be a success.

Marilis Porter, solid waste and recycling manager, said new, bright blue recycling bins are located behind the Marine Mart and the 7-day Store. Recycled items include cardboard, aluminum cans, glass bottles and jars, metal cans and plastic bottles. Do not recycle plastic bags.

Recycled items are sorted and compacted by a new $96,000 baler, which Porter expects to pay for itself by the end of the year.

“Everything we do helps,” said Porter. “Keep on recycling.”

On 9 November, sixteen Marines visited Triangle Elementary School in Prince William County outside the main gate of Quantico as part of the Adopt-A-School program. Once the Marines arrived at the school, they greeted students and helped them with their morning routine. During the day, Marines participated in activities in all grade levels at the school. Marines demonstrated how to do a proper push up as part of wellness stations in PE, helped Head Start students open their milk for breakfast, read to kindergartners, and presented good behavior certificates to 3rd graders.

Triangle Elementary is just one of the schools that benefit from the program, which sends Marines to public schools to assist teachers and students and ultimately have a positive impact on the lives of students.
