State of Maine Environmental Leader Certificate

The Lakeshore Inn has passed the State of Maine's
Enviromental Leader Certification for Lodging Businesses.

We believe that the environment is important and that we can do something about protecting it.

Here is our Environmental Policy

Purpose: The Lakeshore Inn Bed & Breakfast is committed to:

Reducing the amount of waste deposited into our landfills
Recycling as much as possible
Reusing non-recyclables as dictated by common sense, sanitary conditions, and the ability of a material to be reused
Buy products made from recycled materials as much as possible

The comfort of our guests is of the utmost importance and can easily be maintained by following the guidelines mentioned above. Conservation of our natural resources is very important and Maine is a national leader in this effort. We, at The Lakeshore Inn, ask our guests to be good stewards of their environment and to assist us in following the guidelines mentioned above.

Our procedure: The Lakeshore Inn has a dedicated recycling holding center. The owners will remove items from our guest’s rooms daily, as stated in our Environmental Conservation Information, and these items will be placed in holding containers in the holding center. Once full, these containers will be taken out for proper disposal. Each room will have a list of those items that we can recycle and where these items can be placed in their rooms for pick up. There is also a statement in each room that describes how we process the linens.
