Move-In tends to generate a significant amount of waste each year. Help us create a Wasteless Move-In!
Sustainability Checklist:
Use reusable totes instead of cardboard boxes.
Leave boxes and other packaging or waste in your vehicle to take home for disposal.
Sort any waste you may have. Ask a move-in volunteer or Sustainability Ambassador if you cannot find each residence building’s garbage/recycling room.
Unsure where your waste goes? Search using Waste Wizard or download the app!
Bring your reusable water bottle and across campus.
Use a reusable travel mug and save the $0.35 single-use cost recovery cup fee on hot beverages and fountain drinks in retail locations.
Bring your green GOOD TO GO carabiner with you to retail food locations for your meal in a reusable container and save the $0.75 single-use cost recovery fee.
Help save money and energy by using cold water for washing clothing, a drying rack to air dry small loads, and use dryer balls to speed drying time of larger loads.
When dining in the All-You-Care-To-Eat dining halls, preview options in advance or do a lap of the options before making a mindful selection to avoid food waste. Remember to only take what you need as you are welcome to go back for seconds.
Mail deliveries create significant packaging waste. Shop local and limit deliveries to reduce packaging waste and transportation-related emissions.
Keep showers short.
Save energy while keeping your room comfortable by turning off your lights and other electronics, close curtains, and the window when leaving your room.
