The salads are fresh, the soups are delicious, but is your favorite restaurant PACE certified? Many restaurants in Boulder County are doing their part and proving their commitment to the environment and to the community by getting certified in the Partners for A Clean Environment (PACE) program.
What do restaurants do to become certified? Two important criteria are recycling materials collected by local haulers and properly managing fats, oil and grease. Proper management of fats, oil and grease is very important since sewer lines are routinely blocked near restaurants, resulting in costly (and smelly) problems for utilities departments and property owners.

So look for a PACE decal when you dine out, and you can know that restaurant shares your commitment to recycling and the environment. For a list of certified restaurants (or dental offices, printers, auto shops and manufacturers) visit www.pacepartners.com or call 303-786-PACE.

PACE is a partnership of the City of Boulder, Boulder County, Boulder Chamber of Commerce and City of Longmont.
