• Private Offices: Individuals should empty their desk/office wastebaskets into common space receptacles as needed.
• Corridors and stairwells: Mopping and vacuuming is typically provided two or three times per week depending on usage or as needed during inclement conditions.
• High traffic public offices: These areas will have daily cleaning services to include mopping and vacuuming. Common space waste receptacles will be emptied daily. 
• Restrooms: These areas receive daily cleaning service.
