Red Rock is Going Green

Red Rock implemented the company’s first recycling programs in late 2007

Products recovered include: glass, cardboard, aluminum, plastic, food waste, fryer oil and kitchen grease
Red Rock went from filling 14 trash compactors per week to eight per week
Red Rock recycles about 35 tons of solid waste per month
- Plastic, Aluminum & Glass: 10.5 tons/month
- Cardboard: 24 tons/month
Red Rock recycles 23,000 gallons of used kitchen grease & fryer oil annually, which is converted into bio-diesel fuel or other recycled uses
Food waste is delivered for use as feed at R.C. Combs animal farm
Our overall recycling efforts save approximately more than 10 trash-filled trucks from going to landfills each month
Depleted batteries are collected and sent to the appropriate hazardous waste facility
Burned-out linear and compact fluorescent light tubes and bulbs collected sent for disposal at appropriate hazardous waste facility

Linen Exchange Program - towels left on rack do not get washed, substantially reducing annual water consumption
Water used in the Red Rock water features was made possible by a 200,000 square foot turf conversion into water-smart landscaping at Santa Fe
Drift eliminators automatically shut off water features when wind is blowing
Water-smart plants and artificial turf are used throughout Red Rock including its lush pool area

Marquee signage is energy-efficient LED based technology, which reduces energy consumption by about 85% over traditional incandescent signage
