Anniston Army Depot em-ployees are in for an afternoon of food, fun and fellowship Friday, June 28 at Employee Apprecia-tion Day.

The day will begin at 7 a.m. with a Safety Stand Down. Em-ployees in the industrial area who haven’t recently viewed the basic safety videos will need to watch them. Those who have, will per-form inspections and Six S clean-ing and straightening of their work areas.

Office areas should also par-ticipate by performing inspec-tions and cleaning.

At 10:30, the main event for the day begins with a welcome from the commander and thanks to those who made Employee Ap-preciation Day possible.

Games in the Physical Fitness Center, DeSoto Pastime Center and all around the Pathways co-operative education buildings will then commence.

Employees are encouraged to venture over to the PFC for the ta-ble tennis tournament, weightlift-ing contest and free throw contest as well as the car show.

While you’re there, take in the displays of electric cars.

Sponsor tents will line one of the roadways of the co-op area. While there, don’t forget to show your Common Access Card and get a ticket for the prize drawings at the end of the day.

Event t-shirts and ANAD shirts will also be for sale in that area.

For about an hour and a half,

from 11 a.m.-12:35 p.m., employ-ees will have a chance to douse depot leaders in the dunking booth.

Close by the dunking booth will be food - and lots of it. The depot is providing hot dogs and food donors from throughout the community have stepped up to provide pizza, Mexican food, Thai food, barbecue and so much more.

Leave room for dessert from one of the ice cream sponsors or enjoy a snow cone.

You may also choose to try winning a cake in the cake walk.

Line dancing will also be held at the same location as the cake walk.

Along the roadways and in front of the DeSoto Entertainment Center will be static displays - ve-hicles showcasing the work we do or the products of our sponsors.

When you visit the museum displays in the parking lot of the DeSoto Entertainment Center, drop into the DEC to see addi-tional museum displays inside.

You may also want to stay for the animal show, which begins at 1 p.m.

Back outside, in the field, will be an aviation display and, late in the day, ANAD’s version of David vs. Goliath. Hint, Goliath wins in our version.

Capping off the day will be the prize drawings back at the main stage.

Numerous sponsors and do-nors have contributed products for this drawing.

Just remember, aside from our DES personnel, you have to be present to win a prize!

For many Americans, recycling is prac-tically second nature. Even where not re-quired by law, recycling is generally con-sidered to be good sense.

Products containing recycled content are everywhere, as are collection bins.

On the federal level, organizations are held to specific goals on what percentage of a given waste stream must be diverted away from landfills and into an appropriate reuse/recycling stream.

We, as individuals and as federal em-ployees, have a duty to manage our waste production responsibly.

Recycling is a big part of this duty.So, why is Anniston Army Depot sud-

denly scaling back?The answer is rooted in a growing con-

cern over the fate of recycling worldwide.When China began to close its doors

to recyclable materials in 2017, ANAD’s Qualified Recycling Program and the Di-rectorate of Risk Management teamed up to find creative avenues for depot waste.

Despite the commendable efforts and sacrifices made by QRP, the recyclable commodities market has collapsed beyond our ability to compensate.

Regrettably, ANAD must take a strate-gic pause on many QRP functions until a more favorable market allows the program to be self-sustaining.

The DRK and QRP staffs will continue to work toward developing an innovative waste management strategy focused on whole-system concepts and local econo-mies.What happened?

Recycling is not just a feel-good habit; it’s a $200 billion international industry.

Most recyclable materials are not re-cycled in the United States. Typically, re-cyclables are collected in large distribution centers to be shipped to China and other countries for processing. The materials re-turn to us in the form of fresh products.

So what went wrong?While the system appears to be a win-

win on the surface, significant flaws have forced major players in the global recycling industry to take a step back:

1. Environmental Justice - Processing centers must manage contamination, such as food waste, lead, mercury and other haz-ardous substances.

To compound the issue, unscrupulous operators set up shop in under-regulated countries, operating cheaply, with no regard for the environment or local residents.

In an effort to curb a growing recycling-based pollution problem, China and other countries have either tightened the rules or completely banned many materials.

2. Over Supply - We produce waste faster than we can recycle it. Many recy-clable wastes are seen as more trouble than they’re worth. This is especially true when contaminated and unsorted.

3. Money - Recycling is expensive and time consuming. It costs ANAD dramati-cally more to collect these materials than can be recovered in sales.

Several commodities, like plastic, wood dunnage and mixed paper, have no buyers at all.What changes will we see?

QRP will continue to collect industrial metals, hold Saturday sales and collect properly sorted office paper from certain facilities.

All cans, plastic, cardboard and wood crates/pallets will now be managed by the solid waste contractor, Advanced Disposal.

The most significant change will be a reduction in door-to-door services.

It will become the responsibility of each facility to break down and carry cardboard, etc., to designated roll-offs along a new pickup route.

Most facilities will share roll-offs staged throughout the depot for this purpose.

Larger-producing facilities will have dedicated roll-offs.

Shop supervisors will be briefed on roll-off locations and usage guidelines as needed.

The in-shop recycling containers for cans, bottles, and mixed paper will be re-moved.

QRP will only collect recyclable office paper and printer cartridges from certain designated facilities.

Office paper sorting guidelines will be-come more stringent.

Plastic, cans, and non-corrugated card-board (such as frozen meal cartons) will go into the household/breakroom trash bins.

Pallet sales have been suspended until further notice. QRP staff will instead focus on an aggressive wood yard cleanout proj-ect. Our goal is to clear the wood yard by April 2020.When will things change?

The changeover is scheduled to begin July 8, with completion by Aug. 31.

The changeover will be carried out sec-tion by section, beginning with the south-eastern-most portion of the Nichols Indus-trial Complex.

Shop supervisors will be briefed on their place in the schedule.

A reminder will be posted in TRACKS prior to each changeover phase.

For questions, comments, and concerns, email [email protected].

Changes coming to ANAD recycling programHow can I help?

No one wants to see good materi-als wasted in a landfill. We also want to avoid wasted effort for shop staff.

A great way to avoid waste is by tak-ing an active role in limiting the waste we produce. Here are some tips:

• Keep sorting. ANAD is working hard to find new homes for recyclables, so stay in the habit of sorting.

• Instead of sodas and single-use water bottles, switch to reusable water bottles.

• Pack food in reusable containers.• Try to consolidate. Make sure all

cardboard is as flat as possible when loading into the roll-offs. Stack pallets and boxes as neatly as possible to maxi-mize roll-off space. When roll-offs are too light, it wastes both fuel and money to haul them.

• Mind the Signs! We will be put-ting considerable effort into making sure roll-offs are as convenient and as clearly marked as possible.

Please help us by minding the decals. Also, please do not move or otherwise tamper with roll-off decals.

The location and purpose of each roll-off will be on record. Facilities found to abuse or tamper with containers will be asked to take corrective action before the container can be emptied.

• Take care with reusable items such as pallets or other wood structures. The more use they get prior to disposal, the better. In the future, we may have a mar-ket for serviceable wood items, so get-ting in the habit of preservation now is everyone’s best bet.

• Mind shop housekeeping! Wood and cardboard management will become less convenient. It will be important to have a housekeeping plan for how to manage wastes that are waiting to be taken to the correct disposal point.

• Recyclable paper will be limited to office paper only. No binders, boxes, file folders, magazines, newspapers, etc. will be accepted. White, printed and colored paper such as sticky notes are okay.

Recycling roll-offs, such as the one seen here, will soon be replaced with roll-offs from a con-tractor as recycling is scaled back at ANAD.

The Badge Office parking lot, near the Main Gate, is one of the larger parking lots for EAD. Transport from here to EAD is available.

Ready to go to Employee Appreciation Day, but don’t know where to park?

Parking locations are shown in blue on the map, located on pages 4 and 5 and this article will serve as an-other guide.

The large parking lots near the Badge Office at the Main Gate are available. As a bo-nus, this year a shuttle will transport employees from this site to the corner of Victory Drive and Ayers Road.

On the site of EAD, there is parking available in the lower lot of the Physical Fit-ness Center, along the street near the PFC and in the grass near the main checkpoint.

Volunteers will have park-ing placards giving them ac-cess to the lot near the DeSoto Entertainment Center.

The gate in that area, just past White Oak, will be open that day, but it is recommend-ed that only volunteers and those who have children at the Child Development Center utilize it.

The Directorate of Emer-gency Services emphasizes that the depot cannot autho-rize employees to park out-side the gates at the various churches and businesses.

No matter where you park, wear your walking shoes on June 28 to enjoy the full scope of EAD - from the PFC all the way to the DeSoto Entertain-ment and Pastime Centers.

Have a wonderful EAD!

Lt. Col. Martin Wennblom, commander of DLA Distribution Annis-ton, Ala., cuts a cake celebrating the U.S. Army’s 244th birthday.

The U.S. Army was es-tablished June 14, 1775. This year marks 244 years of con-tinuous service to the great na-tion while commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

This year’s birthday theme is “America’s Army: Honor-ing the Call to Service from D-Day to Today.” This theme allows the Army to celebrate and honor the accomplish-ments of its total force.

Since its establishment, the Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the nation.

Readiness remains the Army’s number one priority, and it has been the cornerstone of the Army’s ability to serve wherever needed during its 244-year legacy.

The Army finds its strength

not only in its diversity and in-clusion, but also in its ability to bring together people of dif-ferent backgrounds who share the Army Values.

The Army amplifies the importance of serving the na-tion by celebrating the accom-plishments of Soldiers and Army Civilians. The Army remains forever indebted to all veterans who demonstrated the selfless service and sacrifice that characterizes the Great-est Generation in defense of global peace and security.

Anniston Army Depot cel-ebrated the Army’s birthday June 14 with cake cuttings at the Nichols Dining Facility and West Station Diner.

DLA Distribution An-niston Commander Lt. Col. Martin Wennblom thanked the workforce at each location for their support to the Soldiers prior to cutting the cakes.

Many injuries can be attributed improper ladder use or falls.

Use the proper ladder for the job and make sure it is safe and secure.

Follow these tips and take precautions to elimi-nate falls.

Ladder Selection Portable ladders are designed as one-person

equipment with the proper strength to support the worker, tools and materials. Ladders are construct-ed under three general classes:

• Type I – Industrial: heavy-duty with a load capacity not more than 250 pounds.

• Type II – Commercial: medium-duty with a load capacity not more than 225 pounds. (Suited for painting and similar tasks.)

• Type III – Household: light-duty with a load capacity of 200 pounds.

Ladder Maintenance All ladders should have a seal from the Un-

derwriter’s Laboratory. Use only proper ladders in good condition.

Make sure to get the right surface grade and load rating for your ladder.

Never use a defective ladder.Keep ladders clean and free from dirt and

grease, which might conceal defects.Wood ladders should be protected with a clear

sealer varnish, shellac, linseed oil or wood preser-vative. Wood ladders should not be painted, be-cause the paint could hide defects.

Check carefully for cracks, rot, splinters, broken rungs, loose joints and bolts, and hardware in poor condition.

Aluminum or steel ladders should be inspected for rough burrs and sharp edges before use.

Inspect closely for loose joints and bolts, faulty welds and cracks. Make sure the hooks and locks on extension ladders are in good condition.

Replace worn or frayed ropes on extension lad-ders at once.

Fiberglass ladders should have a surface coat of lacquer maintained. If it is scratched beyond normal wear, it should be lightly sanded before applying a coat of lacquer.

Ladder UsageUse the one-to-four (1:4) ratio when using a lad-

der. To do this, place the ladder so its base is one foot away from what it leans against for every four feet in height to the point where the ladder rests.

Place a portable ladder so that both side rails have secure footing.

Provide solid footing on soft ground to prevent the ladder from sinking. Place the ladder’s feet on a substantial and level base, not a moveable object.

Never lean a ladder against unsafe backing,

such as loose boxes or barrels.When you use a ladder for access to high places,

securely lash or otherwise fasten the ladder to pre-vent its slipping.

Be especially careful on windy days.Extend the ladder’s side rails at least three feet

above the top landing.When working on a ladder, take precautions so

not to slip. Lock a leg around a rung if you need to work with both hands.

Do not overreach. Keep your belt buckle be-tween the rails. Do not put one foot on the ladder and the other on an adjacent surface or object. Never stand on the braces, extension arms or paint shelf.

If you set up a ladder in front of a door, lock or bar the door.

Use ladders to reach parts of equipment you cannot reach from the ground.

When getting down, step, don’t jump, from lad-ders.

Care should be exercised anytime work is done with a ladder near electrical wires or connections. Keep ladders as far as possible from power lines.

Use wood or fiberglass ladders if work must be done near electrical wires and still use caution.

Take special care when ascending or descend-ing a ladder. Hold on with both hands when going up or down. If material must be handled, raise or lower it with a rope. Always face the ladder when ascending or descending.

Do not climb higher than the third rung from the top on straight or extension ladders, or the second tread from the top of stepladders.

Are you using ladders safely?

Never climb higher than the second tread from the top on step ladders.

As everyone is aware, the Directorate of Emergency Ser-vices is using the Automated Installation Entry system to improve the installation’s se-curity. Along with improved security comes delays during peak traffic hours.

Listed below are a few tips to keep you from holding up traffic at the gate.

1. Have your CAC or AIE card out of the protective sleeve or card holder and ready to hand to the guard prior to approaching the gate.

2. Drivers of vehicles with multiple passengers should have everyone’s CAC or AIE

3. If you have left your CAC or AIE card in your of-fice or do not have it with you, use the Main Gate on Victory Drive and proceed to the right lane, so the guard can verify your need to enter and process you to the badge office for a one day pass. (Retired Military ID cards are not accepted to get you past the Badge Office access point.)

Note: If you have been is-sued a new CAC because your original was lost or stolen, then found your old CAC, it will not scan as approved for entry by the AIE scanner and will be confiscated by the guard.
