Green Meetings

Keystone Conference Center recycles plastic bottles, aluminum cans, newspaper, cardboard and office paper for all programs. Please let us know if we can place our recycle bins in the public space of the Conference Center during your program to expedite this process. Your Conference Services Manager is interested in hearing your ideas on more ways to deliver a green meeting.

And, as a steward of National Forest Service land, Keystone Resort & Conference Center has several conservation programs in place.
Keystone Conference Center… 

    • has upgraded its internal lighting system making it 100,000kWh per year more efficient
      (equivalent to powering more than 10 homes for one year). 
    • has a recycling program that prevents plastics, tin and aluminum cans, newspaper, office paper,
      and cardboard from entering the landfill. 
    • has a composting program that diverts over 50 tons of kitchen waste per year.
   • diverts over 3 tons of kitchen waste and other products per month to Summit County’s composting program
    • has a recycling effort that diverted over 130 tons of material in 2009, a diversion rate of over 60%.
    • The material recycled and composted by Keystone Conference Center in 2006 is equivalent to:
      saving 18 households of energy for one year; preventing 106 trees from being cut down and turned
      into paper products; preventing 138 tons of air emissions from being emitted into the atmosphere;
      and taking 66 cars off the road for one year.
