Fire Safety
Fire regulations prohibit items from being kept in the corridor, including shoes, etc. Personal or house fines will be issued if hallway clutter persists.
Kitchenettes
Kitchenettes are provided for your use and for social events. The only appliances allowed are provided by the college.
Clean up after yourself and be sure to wash your dishes and take them back to your room. The housekeeping staff empty kitchenette trash receptacles, but they do not clean the kitchenettes. Environmental Health and Safety routinely inspect the kitchenettes. If they are found to be unclean or unsanitary, the residents are notified to clean the kitchenette. If it is not cleaned in the designated time allowed, Environmental Health and Safety will close it and cleaning charges will be billed to the house.
Trash and Recycling
Students are responsible for purchasing a trash receptacle for their room. Each student room has been provided with a blue recycling bin.
Students are responsible for bringing trash and recyclables from their room to the central receptacles in your building (located either on each floor or downstairs on the main floor).
Building services staff picks up trash and recycling from these central areas.
For more information about the trash and recycling program in the residence halls, go to the Sustainable Smith website.
Do not place trash outside of your door in the hallway or any other non-designated places. Needles, syringes and other potentially infectious sharp objects should not be placed in the trash receptacles. Sharp containers are available from Health Services.
