Tier2-5: Move-In Waste Reduction

•Educating Students before they come—website says what is provided and what to bring/not to bring. Some items being discouraged: Large carpet (not on the list, but discouraged by not providing storage during the summer), electronics such as: microwaves, hot plates, halogen bulbs, extension cords. •Providing the names of roommates to each student so they can get in contact and avoid bring duplicate items (particularly large items : TV's, refrigerators, etc). •Providing recycle rooms for cardboard boxes/other packaging materials. •Encouraging students to consider “what is necessary to have?” •Cutting out the use of phone books in the Residence Halls—no one uses them anyway. •Encourage students and families to unload and park their cars as quickly as they can to limit idling cars.
