non-hazardous) through local disposal or recycling facilities. No liquid wastes of any kind may be put into installation garbage collection containers, or poured into drains, sinks, toilets, or on the ground. Revenue received by the contractor from recycled solid wastes shall offset contract costs. The contractor shall coordinate disposal of RCRA hazardous, state-regulated and liquid wastes from government materials through 5 CES/CEIE via the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall be responsible for disposal of RCRA hazardous, state-regulated, liquid wastes and spill-cleanup wastes generated by contractor processes and from contractor-purchased materials.

3.9.6.2 Recycling must be performed at a qualified recycling

center that complies with 40 CFR 273 Subpart E standards for destination facilities. Upon completion of recycling, the Contractor must provide 5 CES/CEIE via the Contracting Officer with verification detailing the volume of each recycled material, date of recycling, and name and location of the recycler. Verification of recycling shall be made by a receipt from the recycling center and a cover letter from the contractor. The cover letter shall be on letterhead paper and signed by the project manager or other legal representative of the contractor.

3.9.6.3 The contractor may obtain guidance from the 5

CES/CEIE, 723-4825, on proper storage and handling of hazardous waste.

A Subtitle D RCRA permitted landfill shall be the minimum acceptable off-site solid waste disposal option. The Contractor shall verify that the selected transporters and disposal facilities have the necessary permits and licenses to operate.

3.10.2 Contractors are required to recycle solid waste generated from their work, including aluminum and other scrap metals, concrete, cardboard, newspaper and office paper. Documentation of recycled solid waste shall be submitted to 5 CES/CEIE via the Contracting Officer on a regular basis as determined by the installation Waste Program Manager.
