Move Out 2009

 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


Click on your residence hall to learn what to do with all your stuff as you pack up for the Summer.
  • Recycling
    Recycle paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum. There are six recycling areas during move-out. Read your building's instructions to find the recycling area nearest you.
  • Carpets
    Clean, roll, and leave your carpets at the carpet collection areas so they can be reused next year. Carpet collection areas are located near your building's trash container.
  • E-waste
    Please don't throw away anything with an electric cord or battery. Please leave your old electronics at the e-waste collection areas near your building's trash container so they can be recycled.
  • Food
    Donate food to Second Harvest Food Bank through the Library's Food For Fines program.
  • Etc.
    Donate good but unwanted items to Goodwill Industries of Silicon Valley. GW trailers are parked in two areas: Accolti Way (between Casa and San Filippo) and Santa Clara Street (near McLaughlin). Drop-off with staff at the Goodwill Trailers between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday (6/8) through Thursday (6/11).

Tons of waste are created during campus move-out.
Together, our individual actions to sort our stuff during move-out adds up to a gigantic decrease in trash produced this week.

In the last three years alone, students have diverted over 10 tons of materials by giving reusable items to Goodwill, setting their carpet aside, and donating food and text books.
