Centralized Refuse/Recycling Rooms and Shredders

Refuse/Recycling 

Individual office waste receptacles are no longer emptied by custodial personnel. All employees are asked to manage their individual waste receptacles. Office receptacles should be transported to and emptied into newly identified centralized locations on their floor. Trash cans should not be placed outside offices or in corridors.   

The centralized refuse/recycling rooms will be serviced daily and replacement trash bags and supplies will be provided in these areas. However, in the event any of the centralized refuse/recycling rooms needs service or supplies, please submit a work request.  

NOTE: The new centralized refuse/recycling room procedure DOES NOT apply to: 

• Academic classrooms and instructional spaces.
• Waste collection already handled by Environmental Health and Safety. 

Shredders 

Individual totes are no longer provided for confidential shredding. Instead of requesting confidential totes for secure document disposal, customers will take their material to fixed locations across campus. These locations will provide secure receptacles for confidential materials which will be emptied on a regular basis. The listing of locations can be found below.

In the event any of the bins need service, please please submit a work request. The entire Facilities Team would like to thank you for your continued efforts and flexibility around these operational changes.
