Zero Waste Move-In
Reduce what you bring to campus
UD provides all the furniture and appliances you need. When it comes to the rest, be sure to coordinate with your roommate, so you don’t bring the same things! Sharing is caring, especially when making new friends.
Examples: Cleaning supplies, speaker, full-length mirror
Reuse what you already have or buy secondhand
If you have older siblings or friends, check to see if they have any dorm supplies they no longer use!
Examples: Shower caddy, laundry basket, chairs and futons
Secondhand stores are packed with nearly everything you need to make first-year a blast without breaking the bank.
Examples: Coffee maker, bowls and plates, décor and vintage tees
Recycle waste from the packaging that came with you to move-in
Keep an eye out for cardboard corrals and additional waste collections around your dorm. We know move-in can be stressful, so UD is here to make things as easy as possible to get things recycled properly.
