DC's Green Initiative

Posted on Wednesday, March 13, 2019

In DC’s continuing effort to lead by example and to uphold our Environmental policy, we’ve implemented the following changes to help reduce our impact on the environment.

We encourage staff to bring their own metal cutlery instead of relying on disposable cutlery provided

We’re looking to bring in reusable water bottles to replace single use plastic bottles

Staff are provided with one single use water bottle which they can then refill at taps (dependant on water being available on site)

We have now phased out the use of sachets and milk portions. Instead, providing tea/coffee/sugar in canisters instead

We provide all staff with reusable cups for hot drinks, to eliminate the use of disposal cups

We have decreased the amount of single use plastic bin liners we use by having our bin bags custom made onto rolls, this means that we use less bags and this reduces the number of bags we end up wasting

Increasing the amount of glass recycling on the sites we service by segregating all glass and taking this away from General Waste

Follow our social media to stay abreast of these new and on-going developments!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
