Our Commitment!
Growing City is proud to stand behind our green commitments. Here are some of the things we’re doing on the road to sustainability:
Sustainable Uniforms
All our Growing City Uniforms are made in Canada from 100% recycled plastics.
Banned Plastic Drinking Bottles
Plastic and single-serving cups and bottles have been banned from the Growing City work environments - that includes our trucks!
Ethically-made Bins
All our bins are Simple Human bins. We specifically chose this brand because of their dedication to having ethically made products and reduced packaging.
95% Paperless Company
All of our invoices, newsletters and Diversion Updates are emailed to our clients. We also have a no-email printing policy.
All Natural Cleaners
All our cleaners are 100% natural and eco-safe. This includes our own Growing City Pure Clean - a synthetic chemical free cleaner we had made with a local aroma therapist that smells great and is completely non toxic!
Eco-Responsible Cleaning Products
All of our clothes are made from recycled wood fibers and are so durable that we rarely need to replace them.
Special High-density Routing
We have a minimum number of clients needed for an area before we’ll drive to service that location. We try to avoid driving as often as possible,and our drivers are trained to park strategically and walk to several locations to reduce driving.
Monthly Community Events
Each month Growing City partners with a different community organization to promote and participate in a local sustainable event.
Soil Donation Programs for Non-profits
Growing City supports several community gardens and children’s gardens and donates compost to those initiatives during our monthly community events.
