A brief description of the program:

SCRAM: Student Moveout is a program run by UW Recycling at the end of each academic year that captures unwanted materials from approximately 5,000 students who are moving out of the residence halls. The goal of SCRAM is to divert reusable goods, such as food, clothing, household goods, books, school supplies, cleaning products, and toiletries, to local charitable organizations. SCRAM 2012 marked the ninth year of the program. During SCRAM 2012, UW Recycling collected 18,695 pounds of reusable items including 38 kitchen appliances, 23 TVs, 15 printers, seven large bags of hangers, 15 pieces of furniture, 177 emergency backpacks and more than 8,000 pounds of clothing. In addition, the University District Food Bank collected 1,535 pounds of food.
