Starting an active recycling program in April 2007 was one of the first conscious efforts in greening our hotel. In October 2009 we've taken another important step.
We've selected Waste Management for our waste removal and recycling services for the upcoming year. Previously we had separate vendors for our trash service and our recycling service, and we have restrictions on what we can recycle and in what bins. With our switch to Waste Management this week we will be able to utilize a single stream recycling which will allow us to increase our volume of recycling and decrease our landfill waste hauling. Already in the first week, my recycling bin is overflowing and we were able to reduce our trash bin size by a full yard.
We have always struggled with the logistics of expanding recycling to our guestrooms; however with one recycling bin that takes everything now it's feasible. We anticipate being able to institute in room recycling by the end of the year or January 2010 at the latest.
This will coincide nicely with our guestroom renovation that begins at the end of this month. We are replacing all guestroom carpet, soft seating, and bedding. This should go fairly seamlessly and because of the high rise profile of the building we should be able to isolate any work being done on a completely unoccupied floor.
