We want to do our bit to help the environment and tackle climate change. We have made a number of positive changes and plan to continually build on this going forward. The following is a summary of what steps have been taken so far, on our ongoing sustainability journey:
- A Deposit Return Point for plastic bottles and aluminium/steel cans that feature the Re-Turn logo, has been installed outside our shop at Corrib Village
- We've introduced bins for food waste across our apartments, in an effort to reduce waste going to landfill. All apartments now have bins/compartments for 3 waste streams; general waste, recycling and food waste
- Glass recycling bins have been introduced in our external bin zones
- Bins with waste stream compartments have been introduced in common areas
- We have provided residents with clear information as to how to segregate waste correctly
- Areas of grass, which were kept mown in the past, have been left to grow long, in an effort to improve biodiversity and help wildlife
- Old mattresses go to a recycling company which takes them apart and disposes of all materials ethically
