As you all are getting ready to pack up your belongings, we wanted to let you know of a great donation opportunity! We are collaborating with Goodwill to have donation stations at the Front Desks of each residence hall. There are carts ready to be filled with items that you’d like donated. Goodwill works to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals and families by strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and helping people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work. What better place to collaborate with? For large-scale items, please look for a donation trailer, in either Lot 19 or Lot 8, on Wednesday, May 15. They’ll take couches, futons, mini-fridges, you name it! More details to come regarding exact times for each lot. Keep an eye on your email and digital signage in the halls.Goodwill Collection

End-of-Semester/Spring Cleaning Note
As the semester starts to wind down and we begin to clean for the Spring Semester’s close, we have to keep in mind recycling habits that we have picked up throughout the year. Make sure all cardboard products and boxes are being recycled. If you have electronics that do not work anymore, take them to your front desk to be recycled per Wisconsin Law. If you don’t want your electronic items, or any items for that matter, give them to someone on your floor who might want them! There is no reason to throw away things that can be recycled! If you have old clothes, don’t toss them in the trash. Donate clothes to Goodwill or United Way. Do your part to make our move out process here at Whitewater as sustainable as possible!
