On December 20, 2005, EPA agreed to a three-year green power contract (procured by the Defense Energy Support Center ) for its 12 other Headquarters facilities. From February 1, 2006, to January 31, 2009, EPA received 8.25 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year in the form of renewable energy certificates (RECs). The purchase, which offset 100 percent of the facilities’ annual electricity consumption, supported the generation of renewable energy at wind farms in Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

Between August 2003 and May 2004, EPA successfully instituted a new recycling program at its Headquarters facilities throughout the DC metropolitan area. The goals of the program are to standardize recycling procedures at the numerous Headquarters locations, increase employee participation, and increase the recycling rate. The revised program focuses on mixed office paper, newspaper, cans, plastic and glass bottles, corrugated cardboard, and toner cartridges.
