Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
Students living in the University of Iowa residence halls reduce landfill waste by donating furniture, clothing, housewares, and other items at the Move-Out Donation Drive each May. The effort is organized by UI Housing, Goodwill of the Heartland, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Office of Sustainability, and the City of Iowa City. Students from UI student environmental organizations help load the items on the Goodwill and ReStore trucks. The Crisis Center of Johnson County collects non-perishable food, unopened hygiene items and cleaning supplies in the lobby of each residence hall during move-out week.
