It starts with our employees. A committment to retrain a life time of habits is making great strides along with GreenWaste of Palo Alto to seperate waste at the hand-to-trash level. 


GreenWaste provides collection and processing services to help meet the Zero Waste by 2021 goal. Partnering with residents, businesses and the City of Palo Alto we all strive to decreases landfill while diverting recyclable and compostable materials. 

Vendor Resources for Sustainability

Garden Court Hotel selects vendors who work to protect our planet through changes within their individual industries. I.e. our printer uses soy based ink and recycled chemicals and our linen vendor makes their products fueling their factory with palm oil from farmed trees.
