Our Green Policy

The Wild Iris Inn is committed to environmental improvements to help protect the Earth while pledging that our green lodging will provide our guests the quality of service they expect and deserve!

In our efforts to become a green business, we have been making improvements to better serve you and the Earth. In the past year we have developed an environmental policy that has led to installing energy efficient lighting, an on-demand hot water system, new gas boiler, motion lights and solar-powered garden lights, as well as three different methods for composting food waste, and recycling everything we can in paper, metals and plastics. Our plastic cups are made of biodegradable corn product. We also have a towel & linen reuse program in place, and we incorporated environmentally friendly cleaning and laundry products in our housekeeping department. We try to buy local products, like our Organic Fair Trade coffee from Coffee By Design in Portland, Maine made jams, maple syrup and our homemade granola is from all organic ingredients.

As an environmentally friendly business, the Wild Iris Inn will continue to create a green environment. We will find new ways to reduce our impact on the Earth and to educate others that any effort, no matter how small, helps the planet.

Ways you can help!

1. Help us conserve water consumption by participating in our optional towel and linen reuse program and don’t let water run unnecessarily in sinks and showers.

2. Help us recycle plastic, metal and paper by separating them and putting them in our recycle bin located on the second floor end of hall.

3. Help us conserve energy consumption by turning off lights and air conditioners in your room when you are not there.

4. Help us become more aware with an idea you may have to go green and you could win a prize for the best suggestion.
