Yes

A brief description of the program:

UNLV Rebel Recycling has instituted a plan to reduce residence hall move-in waste. The program has been operating since 1997 and collects large volumes of cardboard and packing related materials.

In anticipation of the usual supply of moving boxes and other materials, we put out extra cardboard collection dumpsters for two weeks at the Residence Halls. We collect the materials on an extended schedule by running an evening collection crew. In addition, we also put up flyers and information is provided in the move in packets. Complex Coordinators and Residence Assistants (RAs) are informed about the Move-In Program during RA Training.
