Green Move-Out -- May 1-21, 2008

This year, thanks to the help of more than 100 student and staff volunteers, more than 2,100 bags of donated clothing and other household items and 3,000 pounds of food were delivered to our charity partners.

GW encourages you to stay green year-round by recycling, considering conservation tips and donating items that you no longer need rather than disposing of them in the trash.

Clothing, Food, and Household Goods [May 1st - 21st]

Donation boxes for clothes, shoes, appliances, bedding, and non-perishable unopened food will be provided in all residence halls. Green Move-Out collection boxes will be provided in residence hall laundry rooms to reuse left over laundry detergent. Donation boxes for the residents of Mount Vernon Campus will be available in Somers Hall.

Note: Green Move-Out collection boxes will be available in the lobby of Ivory Tower (near Potbelly's) for residents of Scholars Village and Townhouse Row.

Items collected through the clothing, food and household goods drive, will be distributed among the following charity partners:

• Bread for the City
• SOME (So Others Might Eat)
• National Children’s Center
• Animal shelters
• Capital Area Food Bank

Campus E-Cycling Drive [May 1st - 21st]

Students, faculty and staff can bring e-cycling (batteries, ink cartridges, computer monitors and computer parts, and cell phones) to the loading dock of the Support Building at 2025 F Street, NW. This is the building where you get your packages! Look out for Green Move-Out signs for specially designated drop-off locations! Students on the Mount Vernon Campus can drop off e-cycling in Somers Hall. Look out for Green-Move out sigs for specially designated drop-off locations!
