Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-in waste?:
A brief description of the program:
There are recycling receptacles at all dorm rooms for cardboard, plastics, glass, aluminum, and paper. Cardboard collection is especially advertised during move in week, where 11 tons of cardboard were collected in 2009, and 12.5 tons in 2010 move in.
The Hoosier-to-Hoosier Community Sale program reduces the amount of move-in waste by allowing students to come to a sale in August where they can purchase items collected during move-out. This reduces packaging new materials from department stores would be delivered in.
