Going Green

What we're doing to help...

Our company delivers over 1,000 pieces of furniture to customers daily.  We take great care in preparing each piece for delivery including removing all packaging, attaching handles, testing mechanisms, applying fabric and leather protectants ( if purchased by the customer) and fully inspecting each piece before it is loaded onto delivery vehicles for transportation to our customers’ homes.

As you can imagine, the leftover cardboard, plastic wrap and Styrofoam from over 1000 pieces of furniture is overwhelming at times.  We fill 40 yard dumpster after 40 yard dumpster trying to keep up with the amount of waste that is produced in our distribution facility every day.

At the beginning of 2008, we have instituted new programs in our distribution facility that will soon make it a completely “green” facility. We now are recycling all cardboard, plastic, white paper and Styrofoam.  The Styrofoam program alone has reduced our need for waste removal by two large 40 yard dumpsters per week.  The plastic, cardboard and white paper programs will reduce our waste even more.

We are very proud of our recycling programs.  They are good for everyone including our company, our customers, our employees and our communities.
