Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
Trash to Treasure
Every finals week of Spring Semester, collection rooms are designated in each residential hall for students to place unwanted, usable items. Collection rooms fill fast when students see a second life in their belongings and drop them off. Volunteers haul items to the North Gym where they sort everything to be sold.
The Trash to Treasure flea market-style sale is open for three days prior to graduation and two days after. Tons (literally) of stuff is sold to faculty, staff, students and community members. Items left over after the sale are packed up by the men's basketball team and taken to the Depot (local thrift store) or thrown in a dumpster (leftover furniture and carpet usually get thrown).
