Green Initiative

Like many Oregonians, we here at Oswego Mortgage are continually looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact as we do business and raise our families right here in Oregon.  In our office we use recycled products whenever possible and recycle nearly all of our office waste. We believe the small things add up. We use high efficiency compact florescent lights and keep all unused electronics off when not being used and since it is impossible for us to conduct business with out the use of electricity and that is why we proudly participate in PGE's Wind Power program.  With todays technology we are able to significantly reduce the amount of paper used in the office. We scan and use electronic files whenever possible instead of printing, copying and faxing.

Oregonians Reduce Waste and Recycle More in 2008

Oregonians' dedication to recycling is translating to significant energy savings and green house gas reductions, according to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's 2008 Oregon Material Recovery and Waste Generation Rates Report. The material recovery rate includes recycling, composting, and material burned for energy recovery.

Good Job Oregon!
