To provide you with extra support while ensuring waste diversion from landfills, Facilities Services and Sustainability are bringing in additional resources. Staff and volunteers will be on-hand to help you sort through your items at the drop-off sites. Any reusable supplies will be donated to charitable organizations. We will also provide moving services for heavy and bulky items such as surplus furniture.
In the previous Insider post, we discussed what to expect during the day of the event. This week, we would like to remind our community members about the types of waste we are accepting at the Community Drop-off Sites. Please visit the Winter Office Cleanup FAQ page to learn more.
