Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-in waste?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

The Resource Conservation Team trained residential advisors on waste issues, including how to properly recycle/divert move-in waste like cardboard boxes. During new student orientation, they hosted an informational session on recycling and composting on campus. They also hosted a grand opening of the Free Store, where students can give and take items. Over 400 new students attended, which greatly reduced the need for them to purchase new items.
