A lot more creative thinking can go into what we recycle.  Look at any object you don’t think you need anymore and ask yourself, “Is there anything else I or someone I know could use this item for before it ends up in the landfill?”  Sometimes it requires thinking “out-of-the-box” to come up with ideas [...]

A good professional relationship between a client and building service contractor is what we all strive for, but like all relationships it can be very challenging and requires a lot of experience and effort.  There is no perfect recipe or a one size fits all approach, but over the years we’ve found that a few [...]

 Unsuitable and inappropriate trash containers and liners can make emptying trash and recycling one of the most frustrating aspects of janitorial work. It can be time consuming and sometimes backbreaking when the following conditions apply:
