Important Information about Custodial Service Change

1
Beginning July 1, 2009 the Custodial Services
Department is changing the level of office
cleaning services provided within all university
buildings. As a result, all offices and all
conference rooms managed by individual
departments will be cleaned one time per week.
(See reverse side for your scheduled
day.) Custodial Services will not empty your
individual trash can or recycling box. You will
be responsible for taking your own trash, and
your own recycling (paper, bottles, cans, etc.)
from your office to the central collection
containers in your building. We are offering you
this mini trash can which you may find is all
you really need to use at your desk. It is easy
to empty and keep clean on a regular basis. It
will help remind you to reduce your waste and
recycle more, which are important goals for UVM
to be an environmentally sustainable campus.
This service change requires participation and
cooperation by all staff and faculty in the UVM
community, and makes each individual personally
responsible for the trash they generate at their
desk each day. If you continue to use your
existing trash can by your desk, please note that
Custodial Services will not empty it and will not
supply plastic trash bags. If you want to use a
plastic bag, you may purchase these through the
UVM Bookstore or Office Max catalog. Later this
fall, we will collect any trash cans that are no
longer needed. Thank you in advance for your
cooperation!
