This letter is in response to a letter from Ms. Becky Goldenthal on March 28 regarding recycling opportunities at Steve Brown Apartments. The employees at Steve Brown Apartments are fully committed to working toward a cleaner environment and to recycling, and all of our properties provide recycling bins through the City of Madison or through reputable waste-collection companies.
In addition, Steve Brown Apartments works with the Habitat for Humanity ReStore program, ensures that construction materials are being recycled at many of our job sites - including Lucky - will have switched all light fixtures to compact fluorescent bulbs by 2009 and purchases appliances that are Energy Star rated. We are also currently working with Wisconsin's Focus on Energy experts to increase overall energy efficiency at many of our properties.
Unfortunately through a miscommunication, the company we contract with removed the recycling bins that would normally be found at Ms. Goldenthal's building in error. We thank her for bringing this problem to our attention, and would like to assure her and those who read The Daily Cardinal that we are currently working with our account manager to resolve the issue.
We welcome feedback from our residents on ways to continue to keep our environment safe and thank Ms. Goldenthal for her commitment to the
cause.
