My daughter works as a residence life coordinator at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC. I saw on their Instagram that they held a “Swap & Share Fair” in April where students could trade and donate items. Everything left was donated to local outreach programs.
Turns out that ruminants are very serious climate changers / they / cows and others / generate methane as well as ants that eat wood and the slow leaching of methane from gas wells and from under all the frozen tundra. It’s produced in the buried layers of organic under the ice and another Bunch nicely froze deep in oceans that will be released . Methane is 10 times more effective as a heat absorber but which is. quick to disintegrate .the answer is far far bigger and includes a giant reduction of human population along with a good percentage of other higher life forms -particularly in oceans as they acidify. My grand kids are in for a terrible challenge !
Turns out that termites are the worst offenders at making methane when measured inside their mounds. But since they teamed up with methane eating microbes, there are scant traces outside.
The solution is getting the methane into the ground fast enough for the soil critters to save us.
Thanks for highlighting what colleges and universities are doing to repurpose items and food during the end of year move out from the dorms. What a massive effort! What a massive teaching moment for the students! Bates College in Lewiston, Maine has been doing this since 1991, organizing Clean Sweep, a tag sale that the entire community looks forward to, with all proceeds being donated to local nonprofits. Win-win!

Great ideas about the approaches some colleges use for moving out. So much waste otherwise!
