2020 Energy Champion Award Logo

Just as we are committed to preserving the rich heritage of the Grande Colonial hotel, we are also committed to sustainable practices and treating our planet with respect. From employing recycling efforts to minimizing waste, we strive to make positive contributions to both our hotel and restaurant, as well as the surrounding environment.

Recycling Efforts

As part of this continuing commitment, we ask for your participation in and assistance with our San Diego recycling program, in accordance with the City of San Diego Ordinance (O-2008-30).

You will find recycling containers throughout the main areas of our hotel, as well as recycling bins in your guest room. These containers are marked with signage. We ask that you please separate recyclable items and remove all food and liquids from inside containers before placing in the appropriate recycling bin.

PLEASE RECYCLE:
Aluminum Foil
Cardboard & Food Packaging
Cans (Aluminum & Steel)
Glass Bottles & Jars
Mixed Paper
Plastic Containers

Note: Please do not place trash or any other items not listed above inside the recycling bins. And please know that plastic grocery bags and newspaper delivery bags should not be placed inside recycling bins. They can only be recycled at a grocery store.
