Sustainable Move-In
Move-in can be a stressful time full of packing and unpacking, which can generate a lot of waste. We recommend that students bring only necessary items, wait on big purchases until after move-in, utilize secondhand resources, and pack in reusable bins and boxes. When unpacking, students should try to save boxes, separate recycling from trash, and bring waste to the correct dumpsters on campus. By following these tips, we can all help to reduce waste and have a sustainable start to the semester!
