Water Conservation

To reduce waste, we provide large drinking water containers for conference attendees instead of single-use bottles. Guests are encouraged to use reusable bottles, and our filtered water fountains make refilling easy and convenient.

Recycling

Asilomar actively recycles and composts. Through a co-mingled recycling program, all recyclable items—including paper, cardboard, glass, and aluminum—can be placed in BLUE containers. We also recycle disposable gloves and implement other initiatives to move toward zero landfill waste.
