As part of a new custodial contract negotiation and cost-savings measure, ABM staff will no longer empty trash in offices. Employees will need to empty their wastebaskets in common areas near their offices, where it will be picked up daily.

ABM staff will also clean offices two times per month rather than weekly as they have in the past.

These service changes, along with other minor adjustments in cleaning schedules in other areas, will save UAF nearly $100,000 each year.

If you have large waste items that will not fit in your common area, please label them as waste and put them in the hallway. If an item is not labeled it will not be hauled away. Please recycle cardboard and other paper products.

If you have large groups on campus that will need additional custodial services, please indicate this when you fill our your event form. This is especially important for groups eating outside Wood Center or using other multiuse areas such as the Regents' Great Hall.
