Cleaning and trash pickup happens on a regular basis in each building. You don't need to do anything -- this is part of the Stanford contract with our custodial vendor.  Frequency of service depends on the type of room or area (see Definition of Space Types for more information).

The following chart, organized by room or area type, shows:

  • Frequency of each service
  • Days of the week service takes place

For more information about the specific tasks conducted see Definitions of Custodial Services.

For information on window cleaning, see the Window Cleaning Schedule
