WHEN: Students have a variety of ways to donate to Green Move Out. After April 1st, you can begin to donate any of your goods in the green bins in residence halls and across campus.

WHERE: Each residence hall has Green Move Out bins. In addition, RISC (outside rm. 203), Farinon and Marquis also have bins. If you live in an off-campus house, visit this form for more information on how to donate to Green Move Out. For larger items place materials in the Pod containers located at Conway, March Field, Ruef, Bailey Health Center, and 421 Hamilton Street (behind the Printmaking Studio) starting on May 1st. Please bring all furniture to the Pod at 421 Hamilton Street.

HOW: Students simply drop their items in a box labeled “Green Move Out” in their residence hall or off-campus house.

WHY: Before Green Move Out, Lafayette students tossed all their unwanted food, clothing, furniture, books and other items into the trash, which was then sent to landfills. Donating to Green Move Out is much more sustainable – it’s the right thing to do!

COMMUNITY EFFORT: Green Move Out is a huge lift (pun intended!!). If you see items in places they shouldn’t be or they are creating a hazard, please help to move them to the appropriate collection locations so that we can keep our campus safe and beautiful.
