  • 2024 Annual Waste Audit – September 23 – October 4

    Monday, September 16, 2024 | By

    The Custodial Services department along with the Waste Reduction Group will be conducting the 2024 Annual Waste Audit for Brock University over a two-week timeframe from September 23 to October 4, 2024.

    The purpose of this government mandated waste audit is to identify, quantify and analyze the composition of the waste streams and to ensure compliance with the requirements outlined under Ontario Regulation 102/94, determine the annual waste diversion rate for Brock University resulting from existing waste reduction, reuse and recycling programs, identify any additional opportunities for waste reduction and diversion, identify potential cost savings associated with the disposal of solid waste materials, etc.

    During the two weeks, all waste will be collected by selected buildings over a 24-hour timeframe and audited the following day by the auditors from the Waste Reduction Group. The waste collection will be placed in movable carts outside of the regular waste compactors and bins.

    We appreciate your patience during the University’s waste audit.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know by emailing custodial@brocku.ca.

  • Switching Over the Campus’ Systems from Heating to Cooling

    Tuesday, May 21, 2024 | By

    Facilities Management trade staff will be switching over the Campus’ systems from heating to cooling over the course of the next couple of weeks.

    Preparations are being made to the Main Campus cooling system at the central plant for summer operation. Many buildings are not designed to cool and heat simultaneously. As we experience the typical summer temperature fluctuations, some areas on Main Campus may experience cooler OR warmer than normal temperatures during regular office hours.

    Facilities Management staff will continue to make the Main Campus as comfortable as possible. If your area experiences any issues, please avoid making radical adjustments to the thermostats as this may have an adverse affect in your room and other adjacent areas.

    If your area is experiencing any extreme or ongoing temperature issues, please email Facilities Management Customer Service at FM@BrockU.CA or call x3717.
