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

A brief description of the program:

Distribution Services assists Residence Life with the disposal of unwanted move-in and move-out items, many of which are sent to a donation center. They also provides a furniture warehouse for individuals on campus to store unwanted furniture that can later be used by other on campus departments. Residence Life collects and recycles all cardboard packaging and works with a local shelter to collect unopened food, shelving, futons, and appliances.

Facilities Management has partnered with a local vendor Midwest Recycling Center. Their motto is "we will take anything with a cord,” which includes appliances such as microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee makers to name a few.
