Offices are cleaned by the university staff (not WBS staff) each morning in WBS Scarman Road and evening in WBS Social Studies, with an additional service in the morning for the social/public areas in both buildings. This is a basic daily service to empty bins, vacuuming is occasional or when required/specified. Please ensure that any bags/boxes left for disposal can be lifted easily (no more than 11kg which is the equivalent of a full box of A4 paper) and they should not contain any broken glass, crockery etc. Broken items should be well wrapped separately and a note attached alerting staff to the type of broken item for disposal.

The re-cycling of paper waste is encouraged and boxes with pink sacks are available in each group for collection by the cleaning staff. The sacks should be easy to lift i.e. 11kg as above, removed from the box and tied up and put outside your office in the afternoon. Your Group support staff will advise you which day in each area.

If you are organising an event you should always check that the cleaning supervisor has been advised of any extra requirements for cleaning afterwards. This should be organised as part of your room booking, for which the details can be found under Booking Information and Procedures, on the Room Bookings and Timetabling page.
