Sustainability and Savings

The City of Dayton is taking big steps in going green.

From an expanded and popular curbside recycling program, to energy retrofits of City buildings, to capitalizing on the region's remarkable hydrothermal potential, Dayton is incorporating sustainablity into routine operations and realizing significant cost savings, all while investing in the community's future.

The City's 10-year performance contract with Honeywell -- just one of  Dayton's green successes -- is saving more than $400,000 in energy costs annually while helping to modernize public facilities and significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Additional initiatives focus on further greening routine operations and supporting the growth of green industries and technology in Dayton.

Dayton's progress in going green follows the City Commission's approval in 2007 of a Sustainable Practices Policy.
