For example, we offer our customers the option of an eco friendly route. This means that our drivers are given a wider time slot to collect and redeliver customers laundry so that orders can be grouped together and we can use less fuel. As well as our eco routes, Laundryheap also uses e-bikes in certain areas to reduce the carbon emissions emitted whilst picking up and delivering laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To book your Laundryheap service simply head to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\">Laundryheap <\/a>website or download the free Laundryheap app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=840%2C560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8276\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?resize=246%2C164&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_3299.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@julia-m-cameron?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Julia M Cameron<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/clothing-in-plastic-containers-and-food-in-cans-on-table-6994806\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most effective ways to lower our carbon footprint is to reduce, reuse, and recycle the items we use.
