Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-in waste?:
A brief description of the program:
Prior to and during the week of Move-in Plant Operations, Sustainability Office, HSU Housing and WRRAP engage in the following activities:
•Plant Operations Installs and services additional recycling bins around the residence halls.
•Representatives give a presentation at the first Area Meeting in each residence hall to explain the University’s waste reduction efforts and collection system.
•WRRAP hosts waste reduction workshops for new residents during the Humboldt Orientation Program.
•Housing encourages waste reduction in the Residence Life Handbook (available online at http://www.humboldt.edu/housing/current/policies.html) and their website (http://www.humboldt.edu/reslife/sustainability), including what items may not be necessary to bring. Hangers and three-ring binders that were collected during move-out are distributed during the next move-in period to incoming residents to be reused (the last estimate for hangers was ~26,000).
