GLASTONBURY, CT – Oct. 20, 2014 – E.A. Quinn Landscape Contracting, Inc.
of Glastonbury was recently recognized by the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) as a 2014 Sustainable Company.
E.A. Quinn is one of only seven companies honored nationwide in 2014. It’s the only company in New England to receive the honor.
The Sustainable Company Award honors businesses that strive to protect and conserve resources, reduce waste and prevent pollution, and that promote an ethic of environmental sustainability and improvement within their workplaces.
“We believe this award accurately reflects E.A. Quinn’s commitment to sustainability,” said Ed Quinn, owner and founder of E.A. Quinn Landscape Contracting. “For years, we’ve worked hard to stay at the cutting edge of sustainable landcare practices and are proud to work with residential and commercial property owners on caring not only for the appearance of their properties, but also for the environment.”
To be considered for this award, E.A. Quinn completed an in-depth application. The company was measured on a variety of efforts, including its use of “water smart” irrigation systems; composting and re-use of green waste through the collection of debris to create reusable topsoil; and the integration of pest management practices.
