Moving out of your residence hall, apartment, or office? Learn how to save money, donate usable items, and be more mindful during move-out!
Annual Move-Out Collection for the Residence Halls
We all are ready for summer break—if we work together, we can get there quickly without trashing the campus (and planet), and help out those in need who can use the stuff we no longer want.
Dispose of them properly. See more information here.
Many items can be reused or recycled. As you pack up your office, please take the time to separate the following categories, and avoid the temptation to toss everything in one big trash bag. Clearly label all items and boxes, and stage them in a manner for the Physical Plant or Sustain Champlain crew to pick up after you’ve submitted your work order through SchoolDude.
CATEGORY | WHAT TO DO |
---|---|
Books | Set these aside in a sturdy box for book collection. |
Office Supplies | Box unwanted, small office supplies, label “office supplies,” and request the pickup, as part of your work order, to go to the Swap Shop in Skiff Hall. |
Computers & Electronic Waste (floppy disks, CD’s, VHS tapes, etc.) | Items like old monitors, keyboards, and speakers must be kept separate from other equipment as they go to a special “e-waste” recycling facility. Please pile all computer-related items in one area, tag as “e-waste,” and include this in your work order. |
Scrap Metal | Small metal items like shelving brackets, wire, broken staplers, etc can be recycled as “scrap metal”. Keep these in a separate box and include this in your work order. |
Be sure to refer to the detailed recycling guidelines page for more information on what can be recycled and how to do it.
Contact us ahead of time before your big clean out. We’ll even help do a walk-through of your area to point out what can be recycled and reused.
