In our efforts to become a greener facility, North Shore Studios has partnered with Keep it Green, a recycling program company that facilitates the ability for Zero Waste, both for the studio and its tenants. Recycle stations are set up for each office, stage and catering truck along with compost bins. In addition to composting hand towels from the bathrooms, the Keep it Green program allows recycling of nearly everything from styrofoam, soft plastics (sandwich bags and saran wrap), non coded hard plastics, batteries, DVD’s etc. resulting in significant reduction in garbage volumes. There are also can and bottle recycling bins on the lot, where proceeds are collected for charity.
