At the end of the academic year, many students end up with items they no longer need or want – many of which end up in the landfill.
Green Move Out is a collaborative effort of the Office of Sustainability, Residential Education and Housing Services (REHS), and Facilities Management to divert as much of these items as possible from landfill and circulate them back into the local community.
Beginning the day after classes end in the spring, students may donate acceptable items to the Donation Stations located in each residence hall by sorting them into the appropriate donation bin! This helps to keep the bins from overflowing, and helps Green Move Out volunteers direct the donated goods to the appropriate recipient, including our on-campus Oxy Ecossentials Club, which hosts an annual Fall Move-In Thrift Sale, and the Critical Making Studio, as well as off-campus locations like local thrift shops and shelters.
