Go Green

At the beginning of 2008, we at Mulligan’s decided that we were going to make every possible effort to Go Green!! The first step was to institute a recycling program, in which we have already begun with the help of Dare County and the Town of Nags Head. All oyster shells, cardboard, cooking oils, glass and plastic are recycled and we try to recycle as much of our paper products as we possibly can. We have also started buying recycled paper products and ecologically friendly cleaning supplies and have just purchased re-useable carry-out bags. And we are proud to be one of the first restaurants on the Outer Banks to go completely Styrofoam free. Our carry-out containers are now all made of biodegradable bamboo and we have replaced plastic in every instance that we could.

We also plan to request permits in the near future that will let us place windmills on the restaurant property, allowing us to generate up to 80% of all of our energy needs. And we plan on continuing our efforts into the years to come to do our part in keeping Nags Head and the Planet a cleaner, greener place to live.
