Do you look around your office and wonder, “where did all of these papers come from?” Do you have to navigate through a maze of boxes and old chairs to walk the few feet from your door to your desk? Are you tired of tearing your hair out trying to find that last stack of papers you need to sign before you go home at night?
Help has arrived.
This summer, the University of New Mexico is launching the “Great Campus Cleanup.” This program is designed to help faculty and staff get rid of excess paper, supplies and equipment, as well as extra or unwanted furniture in your office and department.
“This program is one way we can help ensure that UNM is always a clean and safe environment,” said UNM Physical Plant Director Mary Vosevich.
Beginning Friday, July 13, and continuing on Fridays thereafter, selected buildings across main campus will receive a visit by the Physical Plant, Surplus Property Department, Housing, Safety and Risk Services, and the University Archivist. They will pick up items that have been marked for removal and then decide if they need to be disposed of, recycled, kept as extra furniture or even stored as a piece with historic value to the university.
The end result of the “Great Campus Cleanup” includes more space in your office to move around after the clutter and extra chairs are removed. The added benefits to the university include cleaner buildings and extra equipment to be stored, should you or another staff member need it.
Plus if you have something in your office -- records, furniture or other items -- that might have some historic value, you should contact the University Archivist at unmarchv@unm.edu or by calling 277-5707. They can assist you with any questions you have about those important items.
