Think ahead to avoid last-minute avoidable waste!

Last year in June (covering check out weekend), we collected 1/3 more waste from our halls, compared to February 2024 levels. This shows just how much is thrown out during move out period! How can you help us improve this situation?

Think ahead to avoid a last-minute mountain of items you can’t pack and take away with you. You can read the full article on CampusLife here.

Where can I donate my food items?

Please plan ahead to avoid waste.

Donate to local foodbanks: local charities and foodbanks will gladly accept donations of in-date, unopened food items. Cans and non-perishable items are best for donations.
