2 U.S.C. § 1824a: Recyclable materials

Summary

The Architect of the Capitol must set up a program to collect and sell recyclable materials from the Capitol buildings and grounds, using the same rules as selling surplus federal property. The program does not cover materials already handled under sections 6516, 5540, 2026, or other authorized recycling programs. Sale proceeds and any money Congress provides go into a Treasury revolving fund. The Architect can use the money across years but must notify the House and Senate Appropriations Committees first. Funds may pay for the recycling program, environmental improvements, and energy-saving activities. The rule starts in fiscal year 2009 and continues each year after.
