Green Your Apartment - Waste

And finally, how to reduce your waste at a time when apartments are their least eco-friendly:
Move-out time.



The City of Davis, CA hosts a Move-Out Day Aug. 30-Sept. 1. The key advice here is DONATE, don't trash. Goodwill, food banks, even Savers or ARC will take your old stuff (sometimes they will even come pick it up).

This might also be a time to promote regular Goodwill trips and weed-throughs ahead of the very stressful time that is moving day. Give away what you can now! Then you aren't stuck with a "trash or take" ultimatum on your big day.
