Activity: Green Move Out 
Time and Place: 9am-6pm, Docklands Campus Halls of Residence
Details: Each year, students moving out of halls of residence discard several tonnes of waste. However, many of these items are still in good condition and could be used by others instead of going straight in the bin. Supported by the Students' Union and working with CRISP, (a local recycling charity), UEL's ‘Green Move Out’ aims to try and reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfill and instead collect usable items to give to charity. For further information please see our Green Move Out page.
