Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
The University of Minnesota Reuse Program collects unwanted, reusable items from Housing and Residential Life (dorm) clean-outs. These items are donated to a non-profit in St. Paul called Families Helping Each Other, who in turn gives the items at no charge to a family in need. The items collected are: clothing, food, toiletries, and household goods. Additionally picked up but not processed by ReUse are paper products.
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.
