YHA Fremantle Prison and Sustainability

Not to boast, but at YHA Fremantle Prison, we’re committed to sustainability in all we do, so much that we recycled a building! We Participate in Earth Hour each year, are growing a drought resistant garden and want to see a more sustainable future. Some of our commitments include:

Energy Efficiency_Green.png

Energy Efficiency:

Low energy motion-sensor lighting: no need for lights on in empty rooms
Active promotion of public transport options – the easiest way to reduce your carbon footprint!

Waste Minimalisation_Green.png

Waste Minimisation:

Recycling stations in rooms, kitchens, common areas and office areas. We recycle anything from printer cartridges or our paper, to tinnies of beer and plastic containers, light bulbs, old batteries and even clothing!
Swap shelves give second hand goods, clothing, food and more, new life
No plastic bottles or plastic bags on site, we only sell reusable bottles and cups, with refill stations across the hostel
Our herb garden will spice up your life with zero plastic waste in the process!
