Moving Out of Your Husker Home

Ditch the cardboard, donate stuff!
- Corrugated cardboard isn't allowed in city landfills. Reduce cardboard use by packing your items in reusable tubs. No cardboard is allowed in the roll-off containers!
- To reduce waste, pack items in reusable tubs, bags, suitcases, laundry baskets, etc. Instead of bubble wrap or packing peanuts, wrap delicate items in linens or clothes. This method can help you pack your items more efficiently while also reducing the amount of plastic you use unnecessarily.
- Goodwill bins are located in all residence hall lobbies May 6-20. Donate clothing and other small items.
- Give your bedsheets to The Bridge. Collection boxes are in lobbies.
- Donate unopened food, toiletries, and cleaning supplies to the Husker Pantry before May 18.
