The environment

We’re doing our bit for the environment – making the city safer, greener, and cleaner We are doing all we can to protect the environment and make our organisation as green as possible, while providing high quality services to tenants.   We aim to clean, service or restore items to a high quality so we can re-use equipment whenever possible.   Items that cannot be re-used are disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way.

For example:

• We have a cardboard and polythene recycling policy.
• All printer, fax and photocopier cartridges are collected for environmentally- friendly disposal.
• Suites are sent to be re-upholstered wherever possible.
• All our bed bases go to a company that strips them down; repairs any broken springs; and refills and covers with fresh material, making them as good as new.
• Whenever possible, we refurbish, electrically-test and steam clean cookers and fridges ready for re-use.
• Our mattresses are biodegradable and we have reduced landfill by getting our bed bases and suites re-covered.
• We use a specialist company to recycle fridges and cookers.
• We have fewer, but larger, deliveries to cut down on fuel use and pollution.
• Our contractors who supply us with wood products use forest-friendly management techniques. They ensure anything used is replaced for future generations to cultivate.
