Eco-friendly Initiatives - Beaver Run Resort

In an effort to become an environmentally friendly resort, Beaver Run Resort has created a "green committee". Our goals include reducing our environmental impact, increasing our recycling program, and reducing our carbon footprint. Currently the resort does the following:

  • Recycling

    • All paper including newspapers, magazines and office paper is recycled
    • Guest recycling bags are available in all guest rooms
    • Additional recycling is available in all lobbies, conference center, Building 3 pool area and outside of Concierge (more locations to be added).
    • All departments recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, glass and tin

  • Purchases

    • Copy paper that is 20% recycled post consumer waste
    • Toilet paper for guest rooms is EPA compliant with at least 20% post consumer waste materials
    • Facial tissue and bulk rolls of toilet paper for common areas are 100% recycled
    • All in-room and bulk coffee for restaurants is USDA Organic
    • Developing private label, all natural, eco-friendly in room amenities.

  • Conservation efforts

    • All guest room lighting has been changed to compact fluorescent bulbs with the exception of dimmer lights
    • Water conservation cards are located in the rooms for guest choice on towels
    • Low water use toilets are being installed on an as needed basis
    • Sheets are washed every 3rd day, unless specifically requested by the guest
    • Old furniture from condos and conference center is sold or given away to be reused and is not thrown in a dumpster.

In addition, we are implementing a three year plan to address cardboard recycling, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies and energy efficiency.
