Yes

A brief description of the program:

During Move-In Week, UT Recycling places additional cardboard recycling bins outside of campus residence halls. In fall 2010, recycling staff collected a record 24,000 pounds of cardboard over four days of move-in activities. That's 14,000 more pounds of cardboard than is recycled during a typical week on campus.
