ON-BASE DISPOSAL OF LIGHT FRACTIONS “YELLOW BAGS”

For disposal of light fractions, it is mandatory for townhouse & stairwell residents to use yellow bags, because this kind of trash is recyclable. Yellow bags are available for on-base residents at the Self-Help Store during office hours: Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.–6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. The use of yellow bags is also mandatory for local economy housing. The bags are free of charge and provided by your local recycling center.

⎝ Items that belong in the yellow bag: Plastics, foils, milk cartons, metals etc …

⎝ Items that don’t belong in the yellow bags: Glass, shoes, paper, spray cans etc …

For on-base residents please, check the Reduce, Reuse & Recycle Booklet you received during your move-in inspection for more information.  To receive a replacement booklet, please come to the KMC Housing Office Facilities Section on Vogelweh to pick one up.

SMART TIP:

Townhouse residents should keep their yellow bags inside until pick-up day, in order to avoid damage which could be caused by bad weather conditions or animals. Recycle Bag Holders can be picked up at the Self-Help Store, free of charge. Please contact the KMC Housing Office at KMCHousing@us.af.mil or call 489-7108, commercial 0631-536-7108, if you have questions.
