At Lord Elgin Hotel, we take thoughtful action—right down to our uniforms.
When uniforms can no longer be worn, we send them to a textile-recycling process so the fabric can be repurposed rather than simply discarded. Uniform pieces that remain in suitable condition are donated to local charities and community programs in the city.
It’s one more way we are working to reduce waste, extend the life of useful materials, and make responsible choices for our community and environment.
