Fewer Dumpsters, Less Mailroom Chaos: A Housing Playbook for Move-Out and Move-In

Housing teams feel move-out and move-in more than anyone. In the spring it's overflowing bins, items dumped in hallways and lawns, extra hauling, and custodial overtime. In the fall it's a flood of online orders for the same basics students left behind a few months earlier, all landing in the mailroom at once.

This session is a practical playbook for housing and residential life. We'll cover where to place collection points so students actually use them, how to staff move-out without burning out your team, how to keep halls and grounds looking good during the busiest weeks of the year, and how offering reused essentials at move-in can cut down on package volume. You'll also see how housing departments split costs and roles with sustainability offices and student groups so the program doesn't land on one team.

You'll walk away with

• A collection-point placement approach based on your halls and occupancy
• A move-out staffing and logistics checklist
• Ideas for reducing move-in package volume with reused essentials

Who should join

Housing directors, residential life and facilities managers, custodial and operations leads, and mailroom/package center staff.
