In 2007, the Facilities Management custodial team was selected as the recipient of the Green Cleaning Award for Schools and Universities making Delta College the first community college in the nation to receive this recognition. The American School & University Green Cleaning Award recognizes educational institutions for exemplary green cleaning programs defined as one that “goes beyond chemical and equipment choices. It includes policies, procedures, training and shared responsibility that minimize the impact of cleaning on the health of building occupants and staff, and that protect the environment as a whole.” Delta College practices green cleaning through it's purchasing, use, and recycling/disposal of custodial materials.
