Custodial Services is responsible for the collection of recycled material on campus from all public spaces with the exception of individual offices (occupants are asked to bring their recycled paper to a common collection point in the corridor). There are many streams of recycling on Campus; Custodial Services is responsible for the following:
Cardboard — the University has its own cardboard baler, cardboard boxes should be flattened and placed in recycling bins located outdoors at main waste transfer stations. Please don’t leave boxes in the halls, however if you are in an office area, you may leave your flattened box beside or on top of the recycling container on your floor.
Single stream (paper, plastic, cans, glass, and cartons) – blue bins are located in offices, public corridors, lunchrooms, dining halls and classrooms. We operate on a single stream recycling system at Brock, meaning all recyclables are disposed of together without separating paper from the rest of the blue bin materials. If you are recycling large volumes of paper, you may request a bin on wheels by calling ahead at x4450.
Organic — food waste can be discarded into small green organic bins located in all kitchenette/lunchroom on Campus. Dining halls also have special containers or procedures to accommodate organic waste.
Coffee cups – we have a number of bins dedicated solely to coffee cup disposal throughout campus. Coffee cups are diverted from landfills through a special collection service provided by Davidson Environmental where they have the technology to create fuel and fertilizer out of them.
Scrap metal – our scrap metal bin is located within the South Campus Grounds Yard. To arrange scrap metal removal and recycling, please call x4450.
For more information on recycling, visit our Waste Diversion page on our Sustainability at Brock Website.
Waste is collected daily by Custodial staff in high traffic locations, in low occupancy offices it is collected weekly. The waste is then transported to compactors or waste bins located at the exterior of various buildings on campus. A service provider then tips the waste bins on a set frequency.
Community and Auxiliary Services with the assistance of Custodial Services provides furniture redeployment and disposal services. Complete this online Asset Redeployment/Disposal Form and send it to the attention of Central Receiving and Mail Services.
Please do not leave furniture in corridors, the furniture may impede safe access of occupants as well as being a Fire Code violation. Any questions contact x4450.
