In January 2018, Jamaica Inn leased a mini baler from the Jamaica Recycling Company to compact and bale all cardboard, tin, plastics and paper waste. The bales are sold back to the company by weight and are sent off for recycling.
Furthermore, to increase the volume of waste and promote operational sustainability, the hotel has recycle bins placed strategically throughout the property to separate plastics and cardboard items for recycling purposes.
This has cut the volume of waste sent to the landfill by approximately half, substantially reducing the quantity of harmful products that find their way to our rivers and sea.
