GLENDEVON GUEST HOUSE

Environmental Policy

Our B&B is set in a large Victorian house and there is a lot of potential for wasting energy so we are trying to keep this to a minimum. Please read this policy and feel free to contribute if you wish.

• At Glendevon we encourage you to leave your recycling in the recycling bowl under the sink (cunningly disguised as a washing up bowl!). We recycle clean glass, tins, paper, card and plastic bottles.
• In the recycling bowl, there are some spare bags provided.  If you have tea bags, vegetable peelings etc. place them in the bags and into the recycling bowl and we can use them in our composter.
• All toilets are fitted with a ‘Water Saver flush bags’ to reduce the amount of water used for flushing.
