Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
At the end of every semester, the Residence Life Recycling and Sustainability Program partners with Tucson community non-profit organizations to set up collection bins in residence halls and at La Aldea Graduate Housing. The program encourages residents to donate unwanted items that are in usable to condition to community organizations.
