Give & Go Program Diverts Tons of Reusables from Landfill During Student Move Out

Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE) Student Housing organized the third annual Give & Go Move Out Campaign this year, encouraging students to divert their unwanted reusable items from landfill by donating them to those in need through the campus partnership with Goodwill, Inc. Students simply placed their items in any of over 200 barrels conveniently located near residences and laundry rooms throughout R&DE Student Housing.

Thanks to the hard work of the students and staff, over 50 tons of materials were diverted from landfill during Give & Go, including clothing, shoes, books, appliances, furniture, and bikes. New this year were electronic waste recycling carts, which collected 740 pounds of computers, printers, phones, and anything else with a power cord.
