An environmental gesture
Composting is now available !
You will now be able to dispose of your garbage with environmental respect when you are at the lodges. Recycling is a tradition amongst our guests. We use ecologically certified products.
Your table scraps are now compostable. You will now be able to dispose of your organic garbage directly in the kitchen due to our composter. This acquisition was d
ue to a contribution received from "Fonds Écomunicipalité IGA" and "Jour de la Terre-Québec". You will be making an environmental gesture.
Come and enjoy!
However, to harmonize your visit with this privileged conservation area, here are a few suggestions to make your visit delightful, enriching, and environmentally friendly:
- Choose the right staples: cook with as few ingredients as possible and that haven’t been modified; it is better for your health and the environment. Planning simple meals and light snacks will save you time and will generate less waste.
- Separate your waste: Split leftovers and recyclable materials (paper, plastic, glass, and metal) from the rest of your waste. Afterwards you cans easily dispose of this waste in the right recycling bins.
- Reduce your waste: avoid bringing individually-wrapped food. Bring your food in reusable containers instead of
in plastic wrap. - Use environmentally friendly products: Bring biodegradable phosphate-free soap and shampoo; and a bug-repellent containing lavender, lemon eucalyptus or citronella.
- Bathroom etiquette: The lodges have a septic system that biologically decomposes waste. Therefore it is very important to avoid antibacterial products and to use “Eco-logo” certified personal hygiene products. These products are biodegradable and won’t damage the septic system.
Please remember that nature is your host and you must respect it so that other visitors may benefit of the same splendour once you have departed. Please note that Lac à la Pêche is Shawinigan’s freshwater supply.
