Spring 2026 Closing Checklist

Trash

The Department of Residence Life has teamed up with Facilities and Housekeeping to centralize the process for trash removal. 

A limited number of moving carts will be available for checkout from hall or area desks. To ensure as many students as possible have access to this resource, students will have a limited time to utilize their checked out cart. Please note that carts are available on a first come, first serve basis.
