Green Initiatives at The Collection

The Collection is committed to controlling waste, conservations of energy and water, use of Green cleaning products and other methods of Sustainable Property Management.

There are over 10 locations at Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square where you can recycle 16 different types of materials.

Many restaurants at The Collection recycle their own food waste and are provided containers to turn their grease waste into Bio-diesels and implementing waterless urinals throughout The Collection saves an average of 36 million gallons of water annually.
