2BDoD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation Volume 11A, Chapter 5
* March 2020
5-6
* 2.2.4. Sales of Recyclable Material on Military Installations. Distribution of proceeds, by
DoD installations or DLA Disposition Services, from direct sales of installation qualified recycling
programs (QRP) is covered by 10 U.S.C. § 2577 and DoDI 4715.23.
2.2.4.1. The Director, DLA and DLA Disposition Services (under the
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment) must establish procedures and
controls to ensure that when recyclable materials are consigned for disposal to
DLA Disposition Services on behalf of a qualified recycling program, 100 percent of any
proceeds, less the costs of sales and handling, are returned to installations in accordance with
established accounting procedures.
2.2.4.2. An accounting and control system must be established for recycling
programs that provides detailed management and audit information, tracks material quantity
handled, calculates sales and handling costs for recycled material, and tracks expenditures made
for appropriate projects and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs. Integrity of the
audit trail must be a priority concern.
2.2.4.3. If after such funds are credited and a balance remains available to a
military installation and such installation has a QRP (as determined by the Secretary of the
Military Department concerned or the Secretary of Defense), not more than 50 percent of that
balance may be used at the installation for projects for pollution abatement, pollution prevention,
energy conservation, alternative-fueled vehicle infrastructure support, and occupational safety and
health activities. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2577, a project may not be carried out under the
preceding sentence for an amount greater than 50 percent of the amount established by law as the
maximum amount for a minor construction project.
2.2.4.4. All recycling proceeds received by DoD Components must be promptly
deposited and recorded in the United States Standard General Ledger account 426600, which
provides direct budgetary authority on line 1800 of the Standard Form (SF) 132, Apportionment
and Reapportionment Schedule, and SF 133, Report on Budget Execution and Budgetary
Resources. DoD Components must obligate and disburse from the designated
Treasury Account Symbol only for the purposes specifically authorized in 10 U.S.C. § 2577. The
use of suspense accounts is prohibited and any remaining balances must be transferred to the
designated Treasury account.
2.2.4.5. The remaining balance available to a military installation may be
transferred to the non-appropriated morale and welfare account of the installation to be used for
any morale or welfare activity. If the balance available to a military installation at the end of any
fiscal year is in excess of $10 million, the amount of that excess must be deposited into the
Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, 020R3210, or other as appropriate.
2.2.5. Lost, Abandoned and Unclaimed Privately-Owned Personal Property. DoD may
dispose of lost, abandoned, or unclaimed personal property after diligent effort has been made to
find the owner (or the heirs, next of kin, or legal representative of the owner) as prescribed by
10 U.S.C. § 2575.
