SAVE Award 2011 Ideas

Revamp system such that:

1- Partial-rolls of toilet paper are not discarded into the trash by cleaning staff for the convenience of installing a new roll.

2- Recycle bins are installed in bathrooms for paper towels only (The vast majority of paper towels are used to dry clean hands and then discarded. These could be recylcled.)

3- Or, switch to hand air dryers.

Instill low flow toilets and urinals in high area use bathrooms throughout VA. Add water flow restrictors to existing faucets. Because these are high use areas, the toilets will pay for themselves in 3-6 months and then will start saving money. They will also reduce water usage significantly. Faucet flow restrictors will help save money right away and are very easy to install.
