Garage remains committed to “Going Green” for the benefit of the environment, the community and our patrons. Environmentally sustainable dining practices are consistent with our goals and values.
Here some of what the eatery does for our planet…
- The red brick façade is refurbished from an old building in Millburn. All bricks are reused to create an incredible new front for the Garage. See the article under “News.”
- Solar Panel LED lighting collects energy from sunlight on security bollards to light the outside area at night. Bollards are made from and packaged in 100% recyclable materials.
- Fiberglass planters contain seasonal flowers & boxwoods to enhance the area with greenery.
- We recycle paper, bottles and cans daily.
- Hand dryers in restrooms limit paper towel usage.
- Oversized windows and garage doors naturally light restaurant during daylight. This limits energy usage and provides for a “sunnier” environment.
- On site bike racks eliminate individual’s carbon footprints by providing safe bicycle parking.
- Outdoor seating for over 50 patrons: Tables and chairs are made from and packaged in 100% recyclable materials. Umbrellas provide shade and promote usage of outdoor space.
- Install and use Energy Star rated equipment in kitchens when possible.
- Website hosted on a ‘Green web host’ based in California, powered by solar energy.
