  • Developed network to donate our food products to local organizations who feed the needy when possible.

  • Initiated Organics Recycling Program
    • Sawmill Creek is Ohio’s first Resort to initiate an organics recycling program! Our kitchen and dining staff have perfected a system of separating all our food, paper, soiled cardboard and other compostable packaging waste for a separate collection. This organic waste is taken to the Barnes Regional Composting Facility (less than 2 miles away) where it is composted into high end soil amendments and mulch. Visitors to Sawmill Creek can see the results of this recycling process as the compost and mulch is found in the landscape beds
      around the Lodge. We have taken it full circle! For more about food scrap composting, visit www.barnesnursery.com

  • Practice an office paper recycling program


  • Implemented an ongoing program to recycle cardboard and aluminum products.

 

 

  • Perform routine preventative maintenance on HVAC in guest room units, kitchen and laundry appliances.


  • Established an “Energy Conservation” Committee of employees and management to develop priorities and implement energy efficiencies throughout the resort.


  • Energy-efficient lighting plan to replace existing bulbs.

 

 

  • Select appropriate plant material and trees tolerant of local conditions and natural water available. Ground crews use amended soils and quality mulches that improve soil functions while reducing water and fertilizer needs.


  • Implemented an “optional” linen & towel reuse program that saves thousands of gallons of water and conserves detergent use.

 

  • Use only Green Seal Certified Cleaning Products in the guest rooms and all areas of the Hotel.


  • Eliminate unnecessary packaging and non-recyclable products where possible.



    • Select your hotel based on their environmental practices
    • Reuse your towels and sheets on a multiple night stay
    • Turn off lights, radio, and TV upon leaving your room
    • Leave unopened amenities in the room (take opened ones home)
    • Ask any place you stay what they are doing to lessen their environmental impact!
