Let us help you Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Reward in your Hotel

Potential waste produced by hotels and resorts and motels can be staggering. It is valuable to enthusiastically support your recycling efforts. Creating employee awareness will focus attention on your organizational goals and how employees can be involved.

Recycling waste can be found in most environments and hotels are no exception. Its cost directly affects everyone in the hotel by reducing profits and capabilities for capital improvements, research, and available money. All waste is counter-productive. We can help you minimize the waste and improve efficiency in your processes.

Informed employees will want to play an important role in recycling for their organizations and their community’s best interest. Managements role is to empower its people by giving them information and processes in which they can participate. It is around this philosophy that AwarenessIDEAS built its Hotel Employee Awareness Recycling Program.

From creating awareness, developing interest, promoting motivation by demonstrating benefits, moving people to action, to giving recognition when deserved, we can be your partner in recycling.

For thirty years, our team has been helping clients design recycling awareness materials that help reinforce good recycling habits. AwarenessIDEAS recycling programs have been successfully used in industrial plants, restaurants, schools, hotels, office facilities and housing environments.

We customize ideas and products to fit your needs. Here are some suggestions that are easily transferable to your organization.

HOTEL RECYCLING ACTION PLAN

How we at awarenessIDEAS can help your recycling efforts:

• Create Recycling Teams throughout your hotel to coordinate activities.
• Dress your Recycling Teams in wearables that give them recognition and identity. We can easily customize these with your hotel’s logo and slogan, or print on their uniforms and scrubs with recycling related messages.
• Let us create banners and posters with your Recycling Vision or Message. These can be placed in high traffic areas throughout your Hotel.
• Have a suggestion contest that lasts 30 days, one every 6 months. Have appropriate inexpensive Awareness handouts for thoughtful ideas. If employees are involved, they'll be more likely to be active in the process.
• Use our write-on/wipe-off charts designed to monitor your specific areas.
• Encourage area groups to chart recycling methods or possibility of non-conformances on specific processes. We can make the charts for every aspect of recycling in your hotel.
• Use our recycling information boards to hold posters and hotel information inserts. These can be used through your hotel or medical center to keep employees informed.
• Use appropriate decals and signage by your equipment and recycle bins. If employees are reminded that items can be recycled while using that item, they will be more likely to recycle it.
• Let us design charts explaining how much your recycling efforts will save in time and materials over the course of a week, month or year.
• Have a contest each month that relates to that months recycling poster. A contest keeps the poster message alive. People talk about the problem and therefore pay more attention to solving it.
• Have a contest that encourages each work area to improve its recycling efforts. Give recognition for continuous achievement.
• Use inexpensive awards for playing an active role in using your recycling program.
• Give rewards and recognition to department managers and the maintenance teams staying on top of reducing recycling non-conformances.
• Have a "Recycling Day Out", giving a paid picnic day for your company's employees. Use our bags and bins on site to encourage the theme.
• Continue talking to us to work out new themes, new ideas and improve your process.
