When it comes to sustainability and the environment, online casinos that accept neteller have been known for their recycling programs. In the mid-2000s, they expanded their program to more locations. In 2006, when the company merged with Mandalay Group, they created the Energy Environmental Services Division, which consolidated expert resources and five focus areas, including waste management and green building. The program at MGM Mirage became one of the division's top priorities in 2007. In 2007, the group hired Tomm as director of environmental services to increase the number of recyclables at each property. The first casino-based recycling program started on the Strip in the early '90s. A company named R.C. Farms offered to take salvageable items from the hotels and recycle them. The company even offered to take the discarded food for its pigs. While these efforts weren't particularly successful, the concept of going green in casinos was born. It was also a good way to boost the casino industry's corporate image.
