It’s Time for Spring Cleaning ‘Clean Out Your Files’ Day 
Set for May 11
Jefferson encourages all employees to make cleaning out files and recycling old materials priority during the week of May 11. In recognition of your efforts, there will be an award for the oldest document found in the cleanup. Department heads will soon receive additional information on how to obtain containers to accommodate old files, newspapers and magazines for recycling. 

Once you’re in the swing of cleaning out paper files, take some time to remove old files from your computer and clean out your e-mail messages. And don’t forget your voice mail message box! 

To arrange for pickups, additional bags and bulk containers, call:
955-6100 - in Hospital buildings
503-7778 - in University buildings.
