We have a recycling program on the island and we’d be extremely grateful if you could use the obvious and correct (glass, metal, plastic) slots on the rubbish bins. Glass and metal is taken off the island back to Bintan for recycling. You could help considerably by not bring too much potential rubbish in the first place, and, if possible, taking some of your own rubbish off the island.

Our toilets are connected to septic tanks. You may flush toilet tissue in moderation, but PLEASE instruct your party not to flush plastics, cigarette butts or anything else for that matter.

And finally, all laundry is done in Kijang (on Bintan), so please think of the logistics (not to mention additional detergent, energy and water) involved every time you ask for, and use, a new towel.
