Changes in Trash Collection Starting 8/1

Posted on by lpitts

Dear University of Oregon faculty and staff,

As a result of this year’s budget reductions, Campus Planning and Facilities Management has made some changes in the services we provide to campus.

After careful analysis and consideration, starting Aug. 1, custodians will vacuum, sweep and collect trash from offices once a month instead of once a week.

If your office garbage cans require emptying more frequently either because they are full or contain food or organic material, please place them in the hall next to your door, where custodians will empty them. To reduce unpleasant odors and avoid attracting pests, please keep this option in mind.

As always, if there is an acute issue in your office that needs attention, please call CPFM Work Control Center or visit our website https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/ to place a service request.
