\"Hauling<\/a>
Crew Member Hauls Old Carpet for Recycling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TEMECULA<\/b>, Calif. \u2013 (April 15, 2015) \u2013 An unlikely conservationist by most accounts, the Pechanga Resort & Casino<\/a> in Temecula, California has totaled up trash equivalents its staff recycles on an annual basis. The statistics are staggeringly positive.<\/p>\n

The amount of glass, aluminum, cardboard and e-waste the largest casino in California turns over for recycling each year totals the same volume of trash generated by the equivalent of a city the size of Moreno Valley, Calif. or Fontana, Calif. – populations of about 200,000 people. <\/p>\n

The casino recycles all of its used cooking oil, saves 100,000 gallons of water annually by recovering droplets generated by a turbine cooling system, saves millions of watts of electricity with energy efficient lighting in all parking areas, inside hallways and offices.<\/p>\n

\"Carpet
Old Carpet Ripped Out & Headed for Recycling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even its casino carpeting, which often gets a bad rap at many properties for being busy and distracting, gets turned over for a new life. The resort recently ripped out 100,000 square feet of carpet, just less than the size of two football fields. The Native American-owned property is doing what it can to protect the environment and ensure the non-biodegradable material is recycled. All 100,000 square feet is being turned over to recyclers and will be made into new carpet padding.<\/p>\n

\"Honey<\/a>
Golf Dogs, Honey & Tessa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the resort\u2019s golf course, only non-toxic and soil-based solutions are utilized to maintain the lushness of the greens. The course also employs two golf dogs to shoo away mud hens that overpopulate and leave behind toxic messes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other Recycling Stats for Pechanga Resort & Casino<\/strong>
\nGLASS = 50 tons recycled\/year
\nALUMINUM = 70 tons recycled\/year
\nCARDBOARD = 300 tons recycled\/year
\nE-WASTE = 40 tons recycled\/year<\/span><\/p>\n
