Recycling contract turns trash into treasure

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- Sheikh Saad Hasan Altememy, a local leader near Balad, Iraq, confers with Brig. Gen. Brian Bishop during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for an Iraqi-run recycling center here July 11. The recycling center will provide 30 jobs to local Iraqis and assist current efforts to sort through daily garbage collection on base for recyclables. The recyclables will then be shipped off base and sold for profit on the Iraqi market. General Bishop is the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing commander and installation commander. (U.S. Army photo/Sgt.
