Hello SU Staff and Faculty,
Welcome back to campus! The Spring ’24 semester has begun and the students have returned with high energy and excitement! I hope that everyone has another fantastic semester at SU. As classes start once again, I want to provide an update on our new recycling initiatives in our major academic and administrative buildings.
As some of you may have noticed, over the winter break we successfully installed new office deskside liner-free mini-trashcans and recycle bins in the following buildings: Holloway Hall, Devilbiss Hall, GSU, The Commons (2nd floor), Maintenance Building, Support Services, IT, and Horticulture. Starting today in these buildings, instead of Facilities Services emptying the deskside office bins each evening, individuals at their own offices’ are asked to service their own deskside recycle bins and mini-trashcans on an “as needed” basis. Staff and faculty are asked to transport their individual deskside office bins down the hall and empty them into larger communal bins. Facilities Services have placed large communal recycle bins and trash bins in strategic locations in these buildings to minimize the distance faculty and staff must travel to service their deskside bins. Facilities Services will continue to empty the large communal trash bins each evening and the Horticulture-Recycling Program will service the communal recycling bins 2-3 times per week.
At the request of, and in collaboration with, the SU Department Chairs and Building Managers cleaning supplies have been made available in each building where the new deskside bins have been installed. We’ve identified one centralized cleaning supplies station or “gatekeeper” per building. Cleaning supplies can be borrowed from the following contacts or stations.
