Sweeping up the savings with brass
Spent rifle rounds lay scattered about the floor awaiting clean up and recycling at the firing range on Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Jan. 8, 2013. Laughlin produced more than 2,000 pounds of spent brass last year that when recycled earned the base recycling program $3,100. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Nathan Maysonet)
