§1824a — Title 2 The Congress | U.S. Code

Summary

The Architect of the Capitol must set up a program to collect and sell recyclables from the Capitol buildings and grounds, following the same rules used to sell surplus federal property (subchapter III of chapter 5 of subtitle I of title 40). It does not cover materials already handled under section 6516, section 5540, section 2026, or any other authorized recycling program. A revolving fund in the U.S. Treasury will hold the sale proceeds and any appropriated amounts. The money can be used without yearly limits, but the Architect must tell the House and Senate Appropriations Committees in advance. Funds may pay for the recycling program, environmental improvement work, and energy-saving activities. The rule applies for fiscal year 2009 and every year after.
