impact of move out, by making it easier for students to donate unwanted items before they leave campus. It's really easy to donate, with Donation Stations popping up across campus.</p> <p style="text-align: start;">By keeping things in use, sharing, upcycling, swapping and refurbishing we can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the everyday things that we use as well as helping others. It鈥檚 particularly important for you to donate things at the end of the academic year, because with so many students moving out at once, there is a significant increase in waste. This sudden increase can overwhelm the system and even items that would normally be recycled end up in landfill, which is a disaster for the environment.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>DONATE YOUR ITEMS. REDUCE WASTE. SUPPORT CHARITIES.</strong></p> <p style="text-align: start;">This project is run by the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/sustainability/environment/contacts/" style="text-align: start;">Energy & Sustainability Team</a> with support from Post & Portering, Waste & Recycling, Conferences, Warwick Volunteers and Warwick Accommodation.</p> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box5"> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--12"> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-vertical buttons-component-full-width"> <a href="moveoutguide/" class="btn btn-warning ">Living on campus</a><a href="offcampusmoveout/" class="btn btn-warning ">Living off campus</a><a href="endofyearcollections/" class="btn btn-warning ">Volunteer with us</a><a href="../circulareconomycampus/" class="btn btn-warning ">Circular Economy Campus</a> </div> <div class="image-component margin-full"> <picture> <img src="20240629_164807_1.jpg" alt="Energy and Sustainability team at the end of Move Out Day 2024." class="img-content"> </picture> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box5"> <div class="image-component margin-full"> <picture> <img src="microsoftteams-image_32.png" alt="Food donations" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--8"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box1"> <h3>Where to donate?</h3> <p>During Donation Drives, <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/sustainability/environment/moveout/moveoutguide">Donation Stations </a>are located at Residences and Parcel Collection Points, making it easy for you to declutter and donate any unwanted belongings before you move out.

This figure has been calculated using lifecycle assessment data which looks at the impact of the raw materials required to produce the items, processing, packaging, and distribution of goods. This is equivalent to driving 2.3 laps around the world or 15 million phone charges.</li> <li> <p>One of the aims of the Donation Drive project was to keep as many of the donated items as possible in use on campus,, and the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/sustainability/environment/induction/kitchenkitmarket/">Kitchen Kit Market</a> helped achieve this by <strong>redistributing over 2 tonnes of kitchenware.</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Each student avoided approximately 14.7 kgs of carbon </strong>by choosing to buy preloved items<strong> </strong>rather than new.

By keeping things in use, sharing, upcycling, swapping and refurbishing we can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the everyday things that we use as well as helping others. It鈥檚 particularly important for you to donate things at the end of the academic year, because with so many students moving out at once, there is a significant increase in waste. This sudden increase can overwhelm the system and even items that would normally be recycled end up in landfill, which is a disaster for the environment.</p> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="image-component margin-full"> <picture> <img src="20240629_100421.jpg" alt="Group photo of volunteers" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> </div> </div> <p style="text-align: start;"></p> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box5"> <h2>Shop your cupboard</h2> <p>Figure out what you have in your cupboard and fridge.
