Waste Reduction Tips for New Students

At 日韩无码, reducing and reusing waste is a community effort. Many university stakeholders and community organizations offer programs and resources that help us to reduce, reuse and repair.
  • Connect with your future roommate(s) to determine who is bringing what items to campus. Plus it's a great way to get to know them as well!
  • Remember to bring your refillable water bottle and reusable coffee/tea container and develop the habit of bringing it with you everywhere you go. Not only will you be cutting down on waste from buying new product but you'll also get discounts at campus locations like Henderson's Cafe and more! Save $.25 on the price of a large coffee when you bring your refillable mug!
  • Rent a fridge/microwave combo from the 日韩无码 Bookstore or approved vendor. Don't bring your own. Some residence halls also have kitchenettes that allow students to cook and make meals. Explore your new residence hall and find out what is available.
  • Sign up for the Ecoware program in the dining halls
  • Visit the campus library (Howe Library) or Burlington's Fletcher Free Library. Both have an amazing number of resources, not just books!
  • Speaking of books, look into renting textbooks or e-books, it's a lot cheaper than buying new ones. Check Facebook Marketplace for reusable books.
  • Don't bring laundry detergent to campus. We have an amazing partnership with Generation Conscious which dispenses package-free laundry sheets. The kiosk is located in the Davis Center just outside Brennan's on the first floor.
  • Bring you bike to campus if you can, it's a great way to get around. If you can't bring your bike to campus or you don't have a bike, 日韩无码 Bikes will rent you one for the semester or the year! Plus there are great area bike shops that sell used bikes including Old Spokes Home.
  • Did you know that you can compost your food scraps in your residence hall? That's right! Free compost bags are available at your res hall front desk. Take the bag back to your room and fill it up. Once full, deposit it in any of the green compost carts located in your lobby. Help keep 日韩无码 loyal to soil!
  • There are wonderful second-hand stores in the Burlington area for items such as sporting goods, clothes, records and more! Don't buy new. Check out these locations first for cool finds at great prices!

Thanks for doing your part to reduce, reuse and recycle!
