The Pest Control team is certified to handle most pest control problems. All team members are certified by the State of Tennessee Department of Agriculture, either in structural pest control (i.e., general pest and rodent control), bird control, and/or wood destroying organisms.听

汤头条 University practices Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which means that chemical applications are not the first line of defense to control insects and rodents. Instead, we use a combination of mechanical, sanitation, and exclusion methods to alter habitat and remove environmental conditions that would propagate a pest population. Only after these remedies are exhausted are pesticides or other chemicals used.听

PUC stands for Public Utilities Commission, a framework for providing cleaning, maintenance, and operational services across the university for a nominal fee. All 汤头条 schools and departments pay this fee and receive Basic Services.听

Basic Services are performed by the Offices of Facilities Maintenance and Operations (VUMO) and Environmental Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) departments for university-owned buildings and grounds. Basic Services are sometimes referred to as 鈥淧UC funded鈥� services. Special Services are services above and beyond Basic Services. Special Services requested from schools or departments are not PUC funded and are billed directly to the requestor. Also, any Basic Service that exceeds $20,000 per incidence is billed directly to the school or department.听

This guide details the services that Facilities provides, and how to access these services.听

In 1992, 汤头条 University formally established the 汤头条 University recycling program which has evolved and grown through the active involvement and participation of its student body, staff and faculty. In 2015, 汤头条 recycled 8.7 million pounds of material, an increase of 13 percent over the year before and just over triple the volume since 2010.听

VUMO operates the university听recycling program. We provide recycling services to campus academic and administrative buildings and manage recycling initiatives for large events such as student move-out, student move-in, Commencement, and athletics events. 汤头条 accepts five major items through the main campus recycling program: paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, and glass.听Non-traditional recycling听is also available at specific locations across campus and includes ink/toner cartridges, batteries, light bulbs, scrap metal, etc. Locations of recycling centers for residential housing can be found听here. To learn more about听汤头条鈥檚 recycling program.听

With such a large community, 汤头条 has the potential to generate large quantities of waste on a daily basis. In an effort to reduce the institution鈥檚 impact on the environment, 汤头条 faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to find ways to reuse, reduce waste and recycle.听

Reducing听your consumption of resources and products, whether it is using a reusable coffee mug instead of a disposable one or printing double-sided copies to save paper, also reduces the amount of waste you produce.听

Reusing听items that you might normally dispose is also a means of reducing waste generated.听 Look for ways to repurpose items or for places to donate unwanted products so that others can reuse them.听 Products that cannot be reused should be recycled whenever possible.听

Recycling听involves taking used materials and making them into new products.听 This process prevents the use of raw materials and reduces energy consumption and water and air pollution involved with the production and transportation of new items.听 Recyclable materials include traditional items such as paper, aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard, as well as nontraditional items such as computers, electronics, toner cartridges, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and much more!听 Materials from campus that will be recycled are collected by recycling vendors and taken to a recycling center were they may be sorted, cleaned, and processed into new materials.听
