Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
In 2009, U of M partnered with the Neighborhood Improvement Association to host Move In / Move Out (MIMO) during the Fall and Summer, two of the highest volume generating times for students who are moving in or out of dorms and surrounding neighborhoods. During our second semi-annual MIMO event 9,141 pounds were diverted; a 5,064 pound increase from the first event held just 6 months prior. U of M plans to continue this partnership for years to come.
More recently, the U of M has begun working with gooddonor.org to set up collection boxes at the residence halls during move in and move out dates. The collection boxes will then go to various charities in the area.
