Proper Disposal of Trash

Trash should be taken to the large dumpsters outside your residential community or to the grass area labeled “Bulk Trash”. If you are in need of trash bags, please call the RA On-Call as staff have trash bags available for residents at the RA office.

Trash should NOT be placed on top of locked trash cans.

Check-Out Process

Residents should plan to check-out within 24 hours after their last final exam.

All residents are highly encouraged to do a Standard Check-Out. However, residents do have the option to do an Express Check-Out. 

STANDARD

BEFORE: Ensure all items have been removed from your space and you have cleaned.

HOW: Call the RA On-Call for your community. Click here to find the phone numbers.

WHAT: The RLH staff member will do a walkthrough of your room, you will return your key to the RLH staff member, and sign the check-out form.

Note: After you check-out, your door will be locked and you will not be able to return.

EXPRESS

BEFORE: Ensure all items have been removed from your space, you have cleaned, and you lock your door.

HOW: Report to your respective Community Office. Complete and sign the Express Check-out envelope and place key(s) in the envelope. Lastly, place the Check-out envelope in the mailslot on the Community Office door.

NOTE: Students participating in Express Check-Out waive the right to appeal for fines/damages. Also after you turn in your Express Check-Out, your door will be locked and you will not be able to return.

Cleaning supplies such as trash bags, brooms/dustpans, swiffers/wipes, and Clorox wet wipes will be available from your Community Office.

Please keep an eye out for any communication directly from your Community Director.

Plan ahead. Move out, don’t throw out!

The Deacs Donate program is an essential part of the student move-out process and helps us meet our waste diversion goals by partnering with Goodwill to divert move-out waste from the landfill while giving back to the community. Donate accepted items as blue bins located in your residential community. This program is a collaboration between Facilities, the Office of Sustainability, and Residence Life and Housing.

Again, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with your Community Staff or our Office.
