How do I get moving boxes/totes?
Please request moving totes using the TMA iServiceDesk. Include information such as the account number to be charged, the amount of totes needed, the dates of your move, when you need the totes dropped off/picked up, and if you need assistance with your move. Based upon availability, the totes will then be delivered to you and then picked up when you have completed your move.
How do I request event set up/tear down?
Custodial Services can provide event set up/tear down for a variety of events. Please submit your request using the TMA iServiceDesk at least 7 business days in advance of the event and include details such as the account number to be charged, the dates/times of the event, any tables/chairs needed, rooms to be opened, etc. Be sure to also request any other services that may be needed from the Physical Plant, such as trash, electrical, water, etc.
Who do I contact if I need pest control?
If you are in immediate need of assistance, please call x2200 and report the issue; you may be asked to follow up by entering a request into the TMA iServiceDesk. For issues not requiring an immediate response, please place a request at the iServiceDesk and the issue will be resolved as soon as possible.
When do you hire student employees?
Each year we hire student employees for summer and winter breaks. We also hire custodial helpers, a recycling crew, and snow removal crew throughout the year. There are also opportunities for employment when special projects arise during the year. Applications can be filled out and turned in to the Physical Plant front desk, 915 S. Broadway Street.
Do you charge for your services?
Special events and requests are charged. Routine waste removal from academic buildings and residence halls is preformed at no additional charge; however services performed for special events are charged at the current labor rate. Be sure to consider delivery and pick up charges.
If you are having a special event, place a request through the TMA iServiceDesk. Be sure to submit at least 7 business days prior to the event and include an account number.
The recycling program began in 1991 with a pilot program in
three buildings. The department currently collects recyclable materials
from all areas of campus.
Items collected include; glass, steel, aluminum, plastic, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, polystyrene, shrink wrap, toner cartridges, lead acid batteries, dry cell batteries, waste tires, waste oil, pallets, scrap metal and wood, major appliances, fluorescent light tubes, CFLs, and power plant ash. Small yard waste is composted on campus and larger items are taken to off campus collection points.
Centralized containers are in all buildings for collection of recyclable, compostable, and landfill materials.
Three R's to follow in relation to items used:
Please remember to purchase post consumer recycled content items to complete the recycling circle.
