You can make a difference this holiday season – and it’s so easy! And while you’re at it, you can say goodbye to the unnecessary clutter that’s been hanging around your workstation and weighing you down.
In partnership with Facilities Services and the Office for Sustainability, we invite you to take part in the Winter Office Cleanup. This fun initiative will be held at all three campuses as follows:
- Trafalgar Campus: Monday, December 17
- HMC: Wednesday, December 19
- Davis Campus: Thursday, December 20
Participants are invited to dress casually for the day and will be treated to a free lunch and eco-friendly reusable tote bag. And guess what? Participation is simple! Just follow these steps:
- Step One: In the morning, stop by Community Drop-off Site(s) at your campus to retrieve your very own tote bag.
- Step Two: Fill your tote bag with recyclable waste and/or landfill waste from your office and/or workstation.
- Step Three: Carry your waste down to the drop-off site for proper disposal. That’s it!
Zero Waste ambassadors will be on hand to help you sort through your materials in case you are unsure of which category they fall under (i.e. recycling, landfill, e-waste, etc.)
Upon disposal of your items, you’ll receive a voucher for a free lunch in the cafeteria (valid for the day-of only). Everyone who participates will also receive a raffle ticket and will be entered into a draw for a chance to win an exciting prize.
Large Items:
You are invited to dispose of unwanted large/bulky items, such as furniture pieces. Moving support will be made available. Please stay tuned for further details, which will be available at a later date.
Donations:
There will be a donation bin for office items in good condition (e.g. binders, folders, photo frames, décor accessories). Ambassadors will help sort and distribute the items to various charities after the event.
Did you know? The benefits of a clean and tidy workstation include:
- Better organization, leading to increased productivity
