Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Green Move out will look a little bit different this year. Check back for details closer to move out!

This past year, Lafayette students donated over 13,000 pounds of gently used clothing, books, and dorm goods at the end of the Spring semester. Over 50 students, faculty and staff volunteered to collect and sort donations.  Then, the donations were shared with 8 local non-profit organizations.

EcoRep Emma Leeds ’19 said,

Green move out is one of my favorite EcoRep initiatives because it connects Lafayette students and faculty with the Easton community in a way that is helpful for everyone involved. The best part is driving around the Quad on a golf cart carrying all of our recycled items, and finding some hidden treasures to save that would have been trashed! To me, this is the true meaning of being sustainable.
