A brief description of the program:
Large cardboard totes are stationed in the residence common area for several recycling streams during move-out week: clothing, housewares (pots, pans, etc.), books, electronics, non-perishable food, etc. Signs, social media, email and communication through the Residence Assistants are directed at student residents during the 3-4 weeks leading up to move out week. At the end of move-out, the bins are picked up or delivered to appropriate organizations.
• Non-perishable food is donated to a local charity
• Clothing, housewares and books are donated to a local charity
• Electronic waste is sent to a certified OES e-waste recycling company
In Spring 2013 our north campus residence had a ‘clothing swap’ event during Humber’s April Earth week. Students were able to swap their unwanted used clothing . Any clothing that was not taken was donated to a local charity.
