Move-out waste, captured not landfilled.
Move-out compresses a year of waste into about ten days. ReDorm gives your team a way to capture what's leaving the halls fast enough to keep up with it.
The Challenge
The busiest ten days of the year
Move-out is the single largest waste event on a residential campus. Dumpsters fill faster than they can be hauled, student staff track collections on clipboards, and by the time the last hall is cleared nobody can say what was actually collected, what it weighed, or what it was worth. The result is a program that's impossible to defend at budget time.
How ReDorm helps
Barcode intake
Generate and scan ReDorm labels as items come in. Inventory that used to take months of data entry takes minutes at the collection point.
Building-by-building tracking
Map collection stations to each residence hall so you can see which buildings are producing volume and where to send staff next.
Roles for every helper
Custom roles and permissions let RAs, student volunteers, and facilities staff all log items without overwriting each other's work.
Weight and material capture
Every item is recorded by category and weight, so diversion is measured from real data instead of end-of-season estimates.
Hauling cost avoidance
Show exactly how many roll-offs you didn't have to order and what that saved in tipping fees.
Reporting that writes itself
Emissions calculated against ISO 14044 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, formatted to drop into AASHE STARS submissions.
What it looks like in practice
A typical run through the platform, start to finish.
- 1
Set up your collection points
Before move-out week, define a station for each residence hall or cluster and assign the staff and volunteers working it.
- 2
Scan items as they come in
Student staff label and scan donations at the station. Category and weight are recorded on the spot — no clipboards, no back-entry.
- 3
Watch totals build in real time
Dashboards show pounds diverted per building per day, so you can move staff and trucks toward the halls that need them.
- 4
Export the diversion report
When the last hall closes out, pull a complete diversion and emissions summary for your sustainability office and housing leadership.
