All employees at House of Usher are committed to caring for the environment and controlling the levels of pollution and waste that arise from their work. House of Usher aims to minimise waste and recycle where possible;
Minimising waste
A large percentage of communication is done by email this cuts down on waste paper which would be produced by faxes or letters.
House of Usher discourages hotels from sending brochures as these use large amounts of paper and energy in processing, and the same information is usually displayed on a website.
Recycling
Paper and cardboard waste produced in the office is recycled, along with old magazines, junk mail and telephone directories.
Cans, tins, glass, plastic bottles and batteries are recycled.
Used ink cartridges and mobile phones are donated to charity to be processed and recycled.
Charity
House of Usher support Acorns Children Hospice Trust (www.acorns.org.uk )
Acorns provide care to life-limited children and support to their families. They have three hospices in the Midlands
All fund raising by House of Usher will go in full support of this very worthwhile charity.
