One of the most wasteful times of the year is when students move out of residence. Students lack the proper amount of time to put all their affairs in order. To make things easier follow this move-out guide to properly dispose of your unwanted items, while knowing they will be put to good use elsewhere.
Step 1: Plan ahead and consult the list below
Check to see what items are acceptable for donation at the Free Store and at the Food Bank (below).
Step 2: Dump and Run
All donations can be dropped off in the donation crate in each residence or at the donation bin in the CRX building.
