Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
Recycling opportunities are available for students in areas with designated bins for food, clothing and school supplies. The housekeeping department makes special pick-ups of cardboard recycling during this time.
Through the Office of Residence Life (ORL), the university encourages a socially responsible clean up during move-out. E-mailed newsletters and announcements at residence hall meetings are utilized to educate the student population about the donation bins provided for food, clothing and school supplies. The ORL staff reviews the contents of the bins as well as any items left behind in the rooms. Move-out in 2011 generated 4 medium boxes of food donations for the food bank, 78 bags of clothing for Goodwill, and one box of school supplies for the Salvation Army. Furniture is an additional category that the ORL plans to offer next year. Any abandoned items that are not re-usable are thrown away.
None
