has linked up with the Icelandic recycling
company. Deposits will be collected at the
cash register, but full refunds for each con-
tainer will be paid when turned in. You won’t
lose a dime if you recycle. Endurvinnslan,
Ltd., the Icelandic recycling company, re-
ceives the deposits and is responsible for
removing all containers from the base, at which
time they return the deposits on all collected
containers to the Navy Exchange. The com-
pany also pays the Navy Exchange an addi-
tional 15 percent rebate which will fund the
redemption center and add some profit into
out MWR programs.
The recycling carried out by Endurvinnslan
at its Reykjavik facility is quite effective.
Cans are crushed and baled and then sold on
international metal markets, although the re-
turn is less than a penny per can. Plastic
containers are punctured, crushed and baled
for shipment to the Netherlands, where the
material is cleaned and further shipped to
Ireland.
The Irish company makes plastic fibers out
of the material for use in manufacturing car-
pets, sleeping bags and the like. Glass bottles
are crushed and deposited in the Reykjavik
landfill. Even though the glass is not reused,
scarce landfill space is saved. Estimates show
that Iceland has decreased its landfill needs by
7 percent since the recycling program began.
As the world’s population shows an in-
creasing concern about the environment,
programs such as this one are being im^
mented. Other military bases overseas anV
the U. S. have opened recycling centers, iff
eluding deposit programs such as ours, to meet
host nation and local environmental standards.
Once you have purchased a beverage, save
the container. You can either reclaim your de-
posit or you can donate the can to fund-raising
causes. For example, the MWR department
will have receptacles at their facilities where
you can “pitch in” to donate money for up-
grading of their services.
Once accumulated, the money donated by
the deposit of the cans could be quite substan-
tial and, in this time of budget constraints,
couldhelpmany different base facilities. Don’t
throw away your chance to help yourself,
others and our environment.

the Falklands campaign in the South Atlantic
(April to May 1982), where they served as
medical assistants and also handled stores for
resupply of the commandos ashore while
sharing the risk of enemy air action with the
rest of the brigade.
Although there have been Royal Marines
Bands in Scotland since the late 1930s, they
were classified as “ship’s bands” and after
WWII they were disbanded. In 1969,theRoyal
Marines Band Service was reorganized and
the sole remaining band in Scotland was des-
ignated the Band of H.M. Royal Marines, Flag
Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland, and
relocated to Roysth in 1971.
The band is unique among Royal Marines
Bands not only because it is based in Scotland,
but also as it is the only Royal Marines Band
stationed north of London. As its title sug-
gests, the band travels extensively throughout
Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of
England. It also visits the NATO Base annu-
ally and has performed in the Far East.
Under the direction of Lt. Peter Rutterford,
Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music,
Associate of the Royal College of Music
Diplomas, next Friday’s concert will feature
classical and light music, jazz and rock music,
along with traditional military marches as part
of the program.
The introduction of the Corps of Drums
during the concert will allow not only martial
music to be enhanced, but also allows the
finale to be played with a suitably moving and
dignified conclusion to the concert appear-
ance.
The Commanding Officer, Marine Corps
Security Force Co., invites all NATO Base
residents and Defense Force employees to the
concert. However, if past years are any indica-
tion you may want to arrive at the theater early
— this concert always ensures a maximuni
capacity audience. Should your duty or
schedule preclude attendir? Friday cvcnii^^Ht
performance, the Band of the H.M. Ro^Pff^
Marines will also perform in concert at Is-
lenska Operan (Icelandic Opera Company),
Ing61fsstraeti, Reykjavik, Thursday, Nov. 1, at
8 p.m. Admission is Kr 600.
