Office Trash Collection
Beginning this Thursday afternoon, the Facilities team will implement a new trash collection procedure. Staff are requested to place trash bins and recycling bins outside their office doors prior to the scheduled collection time. We are asking you to place them outside your office to maintain your privacy and document security. The custodial staff will collect these items between 2 and 6 p.m. Please have your bins out prior to this. This change is intended to improve efficiency and ensure a clean and well-maintained work environment. We appreciate your cooperation and support in implementing this process. Please direct any questions to the Facilities team.
