New Procedures for Trash Collection and Cleaning in Campus Offices
-
- George Mason University implemented new procedures for trash collection and cleaning in campus offices. These changes support the university’s efforts to increase efficiency and cut costs. As of August 1, 2024, these changes are in effect in university offices at the Fairfax, Mason Square, and Science and Technology campuses:
- Faculty and staff are responsible for emptying the individual trash can in their workspace into larger trash receptacles in common areas. Housekeeping staff no longer empty personal trash cans located at desks/cubicles/private offices.
- Workspaces/offices are cleaned weekly.
- Common spaces and high traffic areas are cleaned daily, and trash is removed from common area trash receptacles at least once daily. The cleaning schedule did not change in restrooms, kitchens, and common areas.
- These changes were implemented after a pilot program was conducted on the SciTech Campus and in Merten Hall on the Fairfax Campus during the 2023–24 academic year. Read more about the changes.
