• Were paper towels or hand dryers used?

  Select Hand towels are used in the bathroom. A mixed recycling bin is also available in the bathroom. We do not have any recommendations as this is an appropriate set up. Electric dryers are used in the bathrooms meaning minimal waste is produced in these areas, no changes are needed in this area. Hand towels are used in the bathrooms. However a general waste bin was used for the disposal of waste in this area. As the majority of waste produced in this area will be recyclable we would recommend replacing the general waste bin with a mixed recycling bin.
