Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
Every May the local Sierra Club and the environmental student group, Green UR, team up to host an event formally known as the "Big Yard Sale" at the University. Following the end of the academic school year, volunteers and members of the Sierra Club collect valuable items that students discard such as electronics, appliances, clothing, shoes, books, housewares, bathroom decor, linens, and sell them to the community. This event reduces waste by diverting trash from the landfill.
