Sustainable move-out volunteer helping with furniture recycling
Donate It, Don't Dump It!
Sustainability Move-Out Sites Available: Saturday, May 3 – Saturday, May 10
Did you know over 90% of all items in a resident room can be donated or recycled? Before you move out, start thinking about what you want to keep and what could be donated or recycled like food, futons, area rugs, microwaves, and more. Sustainability Move-Out sites (locations where you can drop off your donations and recyclable materials) will be available at eleven Housing locations from May 3-10. Maps in your building for the nearest location are coming soon!
