Pack Up. Pitch In. is a division-wide effort to reduce residence hall waste during move-in and move-out periods. By increasing the visibility and capacity of recycling options at busy times of year, Pack Up. Pitch In. diverts a large amount of materials from landfills. We encourage students to pack up undesired room items and turn them into valuable resources. Large items and appliances should never be placed into dumpsters!
Pack Up. Pitch In. for 2026 Move-Out will run from April 1st to May 5th
