EvCC Custodial
The EvCC Custodial Department is responsible for the cleaning and hygiene of all buildings on and off campus; this includes everyday cleaning such as vacuuming, trash removal, and other cleaning basics. EvCC Custodial staff also ensure that the day-to-day condition of common areas remains hygenic.
Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Techniques
EvCC strives to reduce water pollution by using environmentally safe, low inpact cleaning solutions. Windows, floors, and areas that need to be sanitized are cleaned with products that are not only gentler on the environment, but better for the health of the Custodial staff. EvCC cleaning products and procedures meet Washington State Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria.
Big Belly Compactors
EvCC currently has 8 of these solar-powered trash compactor and recycling stations on campus. The Big Bellies have increased the amount of recyclables collected at EvCC by providing convenient receptacles, and decreased the volume of garbage destined for landfills by compacting waste 3 times before the device is full. Custodial staff can check the waste level of individual compactors via an online program, which reduces the need to check individual recepticles to see if they are full.
