Yes

None
A brief description of the program:
Facilities and Services works hand in hand with the Housing Department staff. We have been doing this for the last three years. In 2011 we collected 6.5 tons of cardboard. We are working on adding the collection of materials for reuse to this program. Under the heading "What to Bring": We provide a suggested packing list of what (and what not) to bring to NMSU. “Planning to drive down? Consider eliminating traditional luggage; it takes up a lot of room in the car and there is no place to store it in the residence halls. Instead, use large garbage bags, laundry bags and pillow cases.”
