Fort Lee Recycling Center Enhances Sustainability Initiatives
Fort Lee's Recycling Center, relocated in April, is enhancing its operations to improve sustainability and reinvest in the installation. The program supports environmental initiatives and offers funding for projects that promote health, safety, and morale at Fort Lee.

Since its relocation in April to 7011 Quartermaster Road, the Fort Lee Recycling Center has expanded its capacity to serve Soldiers, families, and civilians, aiming for a stronger sustainability framework. The center processes materials like scrap metal and cardboard, generating revenue through the Army’s Qualified Recycling Program (QRP), which reinvests proceeds into projects for environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.
Future plans include establishing a Material Recycling Facility to process items on-site, increasing market value, and reducing transport costs. The initiative aligns with Department of Defense objectives to divert at least 40% of nonhazardous waste from landfills, promoting resource conservation and community collaboration.
