Waste Management Policy

Introduction

At Pure Klass Cleaning, we are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Our Waste Management Policy is designed to minimise waste, promote recycling, and ensure the responsible disposal of waste materials at any of the Student Accommodation sites we are working in.

​

Policy Statement

We pledge to manage waste generated from our cleaning services at the University campuses in accordance with environmental regulations and best practices. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and support the universities’ sustainability objectives.
