Custodial Services provides moving services and deliveries on the campus for University departments. Moving services may be requested with the authorization of the Dean, Chair, or Head of the department. Custodial will provide the services upon receipt of a move order request, which must be submitted to Facilities Management Projects division.

Important things to note:
- Moving service request should be submitted at least 2 weeks in advance. This allows Facilities Management to properly coordinate all the details of the move and provide you with the necessary information
- All filing cabinets, desks, bookshelves, etc., must be completely empty. Moving these heavy items is very difficult and we require this as an effort to ensure the safety of our moving staff.
- The incumbents are responsible for packing their own items. Incumbents need to have boxes packed on or before the requested move date and time.
- Facilities Management can occasionally provide boxes; however finding or purchasing boxes resides with the requesting department.
Custodial Service manages the pest management contract on the Saint Mary’s University campus. All pest concerns in Residence must be reported through the Residence desk at 5591 and all pest concerns on Campus must be reported through Facilities Management office services at 5572
Custodial services manages the waste management system and waste removal on campus and in residence. The system is based on the HRM source separation philosophy. The University provides the appropriate bins to make recycling efficient on cams and the community is responsible to place their waste in the appropriate bin. The following link is to show you how to sort your waste on campus:
Multi sectional bins are provided around campus and are labelled with clear signage to identify how to sort on campus. In Residence, individual colour coded bins are provided for the floors in Loyola and Vanier. Rice residents are expected to use the Residence Recycling Centre in the Hen Alley room 111. This facility may also be used for other residence building incumbents as there are additional recycling separation options available such as:
- Garbage
- Recyclables
- Refundable's
- Batteries
- Clothing
- Organics
- E-waste
