Cleaning and waste

Cleaning

Cleaning at SDU is managed by Technical Services and carried out by an external contractor.

• All cleaning at all SDU addresses is carried out between 05:00 and 18:00.
• In meeting and teaching rooms, toilets, classified laboratories, teaching laboratories and canteens, cleaning must be completed before 08:00.
• Offices, general laboratories, kitchens and communal areas are cleaned after 08:00. For information on the day(s) and type of cleaning, please see the stickers next to all doorways.
• The above also applies on weekends if rooms and areas are booked for teaching or exams.

As an organiser, you can request extra cleaning in connection with your event, such as cleaning of toilets before an evening event if they have been in use throughout the day, or weekend cleaning if your event takes place during the weekend. You can also request cleaning staff to be available during your event to ensure the facilities are clean and maintained throughout the event. The availability and scope of cleaning staff must be agreed with Technical Services no later than 14 days before the event. Please note that you must bear the costs associated with the extra cleaning.

Waste

At SDU, we work sustainably and therefore sort waste. As there may be differences in which fractions the individual campus sorts waste into, please check here if you are unsure.

If you have larger amounts of waste than can fit in the waste stations, you can deliver it in one of the many larger containers that are placed around SDU’s premises. If you are in doubt about where the nearest container is, please contact Technical Services at 8888@sdu.dk or (+45) 6550 8888. Ask for ‘waste’ (‘affald’ in Danish). 

At SDU Odense, you can also use SDU Maps to locate the nearest containers in the basement. Search for ‘Storskrald’ or ‘bulky waste’, depending on your browser’s language settings.

If you expect large amounts of waste in connection with your event (for instance, if catering is delivered in disposable packaging), you can order extra bins or extra emptying of waste stations in the area where the event is held. The availability and scope of waste disposal must be agreed with Technical Services no later than 14 days before the event. Please note that if there is a need for containers or the like that are unavailable at SDU, Technical Services will obtain quotes from external suppliers. Any costs incurred in connection with this must be borne by the organiser.
