Shepherds Bush Housing Group helps the environment

Shepherds Bush Housing Group saved 69 trees by recycling paper in the 'Shred it' cupboard bins dotted around our offices last year.

The main types of paper which we recycled were:

• Office white paper
• Newspapers, magazines, telephone directories and pamphlets
• Cardboard
• Mixed or coloured paper
• Computer print out paper.

Staying Put Services are also doing their bit for the environmental cause by introducing electronic tendering procedures by e-mail, which could save around 4,000 sheets of paper a year. At present they are sending 30% of their tenders by e-mail.
