Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
The college, partnering with the United Way of Adams County, organizes the collection and sale of reusable items at the end of the year. Items are also collected from community members who wish to donate. Students donate books, furniture, clothing, et cetera. The donated items are organized in the gym and sold in a large sale. In 2011, the sale raised $17,900 and prevented 33 tons from entering the waste stream.
In 2010, the sale raised $20,000 and prevented 30 tons from entering the waste stream.
