OP-T2-43: Move-Out Waste Reduction

Recoverable Resources has an alternative to throwing away move-out waste - the Don't Dump - Donate It program. Beginning April 20th through May 5th 2012, a donation area will be set up in the central area or lobby of every Residence Hall. This area is where residents can donate items they don't want or simply don't have room for in their cars. These materials will be picked up by the Recoverable Resource’s staff, sorted into categories and donated to non-profits. Over the years, thousands of pounds of waste were diverted from the landfill. Clothing, desk accessories, bedspreads and other miscellaneous items, which were given to the Samaritan House, Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries. This program has continued with growing success each year. Special Events Recycling: Recycling bins can be placed to accommodate any special event that may be taking place on campus. Events include Student Move In / Student Move Out.
