Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
Give & Go is a program meant to divert waste during the move out week for undergraduates living in dorms. Each dorm complex has a manned collection point throughout the move out week. The diverted items are then donated to local charities.
About 36,000 lbs of donated goods were collected from 2009 to 2011. The total weight of diverted goods for 2012 will not be known for a few more weeks.
