The Custodial Department provides routine daily collection of general trash and basic recyclable materials from common areas and public spaces inside all university buildings. Recycling bins are typically paired next to trash bins. 

Note: Custodial staff do not empty individual deskside trash or recycling bins inside private office spaces, nor do they provide trash bag liners. Office occupants are responsible for emptying their own materials into the centralized collection areas in the hallway.

The larger trash dumpsters, trash compactors and rolling Toter carts located at building loading docks are emptied on a pre-established schedule by either our in-house ¶¶Òõ̽̽ Recycling Crew or by a contracted waste hauler. The collection schedule varies by building.

Additional services such as delivery of wheeled carts for office cleanouts, and collection of extra trash, recyclables or special waste materials are handled by the Custodial Department's Recycling team. These special request services typically incur a departmental charge. 

To request extra recycling or waste removal services:

Office building occupants may request a small bin to use at or under a desk. These are supplied by the Office of Sustainability at no charge to departments. Email the Recycling and Zero Waste Coordinator (Corey.Berman@uvm.edu) and provide your name, department, building location and room number, and they will deliver one to you.
