New Service Changes

In June 2009 Custodial Services held a series of open information sessions to outline  FY 2010 service levels changes driven by the current financial conditions. You can view the presentation in it's entirety by clicking here:  Office Cleaning 2010 Info Session

Flier to be distibuted to office occupants beginning July:     New Service Level Change 2010
        
The premise of these service changes is to enable us to remain student centric in our approach to cleaning the UVM campus.  
 
Unaffected areas include:

Classrooms, computer labs, library spaces, the Davis Center, public event spaces, restrooms, and food service areas

Affected area s include:

Offices, departmental conference rooms, research labs, and hallways   
  
Building service hours will changing on the administrative / academic areas as well:  Building Schedule 2010  
For a complete listing of  hours see Service Hours on the left nav bar.

Offices & Departmental Conference Rooms

The most significant of these changes is that effective FY 2010 office areas will only be serviced one time per week and that all desk side trash and recyle containers will no longer be serviced / supplied with trash liners.  All UVM staff will bring their own trash and recycle to public collection areas (hallway bins). We will provide additional waste can capacity for for trash & recycle in common areas to help facilitate this process.

Specifics pertaining to when a particular office will receive routine service shall be made available to individual office occupants at the beginning of July.  At this time a small personal mini-bin will be placed on each desk for occupants to put their daily wast in.  This will provide a more manageable receptacle for you to maintain than the current desk side waste containers.  Your current waste container will not be removed.  However, Custodial Services will no longer provide service or trash bags to them.  If you still desire to use your current waste container you will have to provide your own trash bag(supplied by you or your department) and you will be responsible for maintaining it as well.
                                       
While most smaller office areas will have a set schedule from the begining, some of the larger areas may need to be adjusted over the first few months of this new program as the staff and faculty return from their summer leave.  We ask that you please be patient as we develop a schedule that will serve every office area equally well.

Additionally, all departmentally managed conference rooms will go to receiving a once per week cleaning service.  This service will be the same as offices and not include waste / recycle removal.  Each individual department will administrate waste removal from their areas in a manor they deem appropriate for their business.

As the schedules for these areas evolve, we will keep you informed.

Research Labs

Heavy floor(strip & wax, carpet cleaning) care in research lab areas will be reduced to one(1) time per year.  No other changes will occur to research lab areas.

Hallways

Heavy floor care(strip & wax, carpet cleaning) in hallways will be reduced to one(1) timer per year and High/Low dusting will occur bi-weekly(baseboards, ceiling lights, etc.).
