Dear Colleagues,

Please help us spread the word to students living off-campus in New Brunswick about Project Move Out, a joint program between Rutgers and the City of New Brunswick to recycle to recover discarded furniture, appliances, electronics, and textiles in order to keep these items out of landfills and reduce our carbon footprint. Students can pre-register until May 22 to have items picked up curbside at their apartments, or they can drop off items at designated locations and times.

Details on the program can be found on the attached flyer.  Information can also be found online: ruoffcampus.rutgers.edu/projectmoveout

Please promote this program any way you feel appropriate - through listservs, social networking, websites, enewsletters, etc. If you able to spread the word, I would appreciate if you would send me an email with a brief note of where you were able to place the information so that we can keep an accurate list of our outreach for future planning.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks, Melissa
