Grounds and Gardens

- Where practical, the recycling of garden waste
- The planting and upkeep of floral and seasonal bedding displays and provide displays of cut flowers when in season
- Identifying and maintaining areas to enhance the biodiversity of the University's environment
- Ensuring a high standard of maintenance (including marking out) of the University sports pitches
- Litter picking of the extended Canterbury campus and the emptying of externally placed waste bins
- Mechanical sweeping of main and accessible path areas on a twice weekly basis
- External window cleaning and pressure washing of surface areas
- Gritting and snow clearing service to main access routes as per the Snow & Ice Clearance Procedure with the assistance of the Facilities Services team in extreme conditions.
