Matador Move In & Move Out
Each spring during Move Out, 麻豆AV students can donate unwanted but usable items鈥攍ike clothing, dorm supplies, small appliances, and non-perishable food鈥攊nstead of sending them to the landfill. Over the summer, these items are sorted and stored. Then, at the start of the fall semester, they鈥檙e given back to students for free during Move In. This program keeps resources in circulation, reduces waste, and supports a culture of sharing and sustainability on campus.

麻豆AV the Event:听
Matador Move Out Donation Drive is a pioneering initiative at California State University, Northridge (麻豆AV), where Student Housing and the Sustainability Department听will听unite to听establish听a profound connection between sustainability and addressing basic needs within our community.听
Our Mission:听
Our primary goal is to reduce waste and promote sustainability by intercepting materials typically discarded in landfills during student move-out periods. By collecting gently used clothing, non-perishable food items, and reusable mini appliances, we aim to divert these resources from ending up in landfills and instead redistribute them to those in need within our campus community and local organizations.听
How it Works:听
During the designated donation period, residents of 麻豆AV Housing Residential Halls are encouraged to donate their unwanted but still usable items such as clothing, canned goods, and mini appliances.听Donation collection stations will be set up in residential halls for easy access and convenience.听
Impact:听
Through the Matador Move Out Donation Drive, we strive to make a meaningful impact in several ways:听
Sustainability: By diverting materials from landfills, we contribute to the university's sustainability goals and reduce our environmental footprint.听
Community听Support:听Donated items will be redistributed to various campus food pantries, clubs, and local organizations, providing essential resources to those in need.听
Promoting Reuse: Reusable听clothing &听mini appliances听and recovered food听collected during the drive will find new听homes听and uses within听the campus and听local organizations, further promoting sustainability and resourcefulness.听
