Sustainable ReCycle will be set up in every residence hall common room to drop off clean and intact items (e.g. books, binders, fans, hangers or pens) as well as clothing and linens. They will NOT collect mattress pads. You can also leave electronic waste there.

If there is a damage and you would like to claim responsibility, please make a note of that when you register to checkout; otherwise the residents of the room will be equally charged

  • Damages of furnishings and equipment in a hall or house will be charged to those found responsible. If the identity of the person(s) at fault cannot be determined, the cost of repairing the unclaimed damage will be divided among all residents living in the space. This per capita share of all hall damages will be billed to your student account at the end of the semester. Community damages can be eliminated if residents can identify the person(s) responsible for the damage. If you know the parties responsible for damage within your hall, email resed@oxy.edu as soon as possible.
  • E. Norris Residents: Norris quads are considered common area living spaces and damage to these spaces will be split among all residents in the quad. If trash is left in the common areas, the building will be charged for their removal.

The college does not provide any summer storage, however, the Summer Storage Website provides a list of external student storage companies that you may consider. Any items left in rooms after move out are considered abandoned and will be disposed of, along with improper fees assessed to residents.

To store your vehicle over the summer, please review this form from Campus Safety.
