Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
Geneseo partners with Livingston Cares and St. Paulies Textiles to donate unwanted items from students when they move-out of the residence halls. Students are also encouraged to recycle anything that they cannot donate.
The Geneseo Gives Back program also takes item and food donations from the dormitories and sells them at the Interfaith Tag Sale. All monetary proceeds from the sale are used to fund the Interfaith Center facility. At the Tag Sale, community members can buy donated items at inexpensive prices. In this way, donations both reduce waste and serve the members of the Geneseo community.
Any items unsold at the event are donated to the Geneseo Goodwill store. All food items are donated to the Geneseo-Groveland Food Pantry, located at St. Mary's church in Geneseo.
