• Waste Management (Recycling Program)

  Greenhill recently branded its single-stream recycling program called "Keep Greenhill Green" and we have unrolled an in-depth education program to the community. CLICK HERE to read more about Greenhill's Waste Management (Recycling) Program. In separate "e-cycling" bins, we also collect cell phones, ink jet cartridges, small electronics and used batteries. These green bins are located in every building on campus.

• U.S. Green Building Council LEED-EB Certification

  In April of 2014, Greenhill became the first school in the entire Southwest to achieve LEED Certification under the Existing Buildings rating system for the Phillip G. Foote Lower School. The Existing Buildings LEED Certification promotes building operational practices that improve environmental sustainability and help with the establishment of ongoing facilities management process improvements. Greenhill achieved LEED Certified status by implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

• Water Bottles

  Greenhill does not offer bottled water and rather, encourages the use of re-usable water bottles to limit waste and foster smart use of our resources. All water fountains, outiftted with a "gooseneck spout" for easy refill, dispense filtered water that is odorless and safe, and our campus store always carries ISPA-free water bottles.

• Guidelines for Events on Campus

  When planning an event on the Greenhill campus, you can make specific requests during the process. The Green Team recommends the following:

  
  1. Please avoid distribution of plastic water bottles on the Greenhill campus for large and small events.
  
  2. For grade level parties and events, order the water coolers through the SAGE Dining team. They will supply water coolers with cups.
  
  3. For large student events, encourage students to carry their own reusable, refillable water bottles. Greenhill water fountains supply drinkable filtered water which is odorless and tasteless. They also have gooseneck spouts which make it very easy to use for filling bottles. Please encourage students to use these water fountains.
  
  4. If plastic water bottles must be used, please note that that there are RECYCLE BINS throughout campus and you can request additional bins through the Facilities department. Please encourage students to use these RECYCLING BINS to recycle plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, glass bottles and paper.
