Our Eco Friendly Policy
Our Eco Friendly Policy
To think before we buy: Informed buying decisions can help us reduce the amount of raw materials used in manufactured goods, eliminate air and land pollutions, cut waste volumes, and support local Queenstown and New Zealand businesses. This can also help stop the destruction of valuable native forests and natural habitats around the world.
To think before we use: Efficient use of energy, water, cleaning and office products, fuel and other resources we use to ensure our business reduces our environmental impact.
To think before we discard: Recycling as much waste as is practicable and possible can help reduce air and land pollutions, and reduce the amount going into the Southern Lakes landfills.
We at The Glebe work hard to support this beautiful town by undertaking a number of actions. Many of these you will not be aware of, but some you may notice. Some actions that you may not see include buying locally, using biodegradable or environmentally friendly cleaning products, and donating unwanted items to a local Salvation Army. Reducing the lighting in some areas and the use of low energy bulbs where we can.
Our apartments are well insulated and double glazed to maintain and hold temperature & to reduce noise pollution.
If you do not need daily servicing or change of towels please advice reception, this is a great saving in water and detergents.
We and our staff always Endeavour to turn off lights or equipment when not needed or when we leave a room, turn off taps when we are not directly using water, and try to reduce waste by recycling. You may wish to use the recycling containers located at the entrance of each car park. We have also left an additional bag for recyclable items under your kitchen bench.
We hope you leave The Glebe knowing your support and/or actions help us to enhance our beautiful Queenstown area and environment.
