Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
The Office of Sustainability, the Kernodle Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement, Residence Life and Habitat for Humanity, along with other on- and off-campus partners, collaborate to organize 'Don't Trash It!' at the end of the school year. This effort is targeted to both on- and off-campus students and seeks non-perishable food items, clothing, electronics, bedding and furniture in good condition. Items are collected and donated to several local food banks and non-profit organizations.
'Don't Trash It!' runs for 10 days during final exams and through graduation. Donations are taken at a series of drop-off points throughout campus. In 2012-2013, over two tons of donations were collected and given to a variety of non-profit partners.
