Move Out
You can reduce your 花季视频al footprint when leaving campus by donating or recycling unwanted items. Whether you live on campus or off campus, there are convenient options for reducing the amount of things that end up in the trash when you move out.
On-campus donation
In June, sustainNU offers the “Take it or Leave it” program. Boxes will be placed in the lobby/entry of each residential building to collect clean clothing and linens. For 2024, boxes will be placed in the halls on June 3 and removed on June 8.
Items will be donated to local charities. If you see something you could use in the donation boxes, you are welcome to take it. One person’s trash is another’s treasure!
