Donations
Don’t let your good items go to waste! U-M’s Student Move-Out Donation Program encourages students living in the residence halls to donate lightly used items instead of sending them to the landfill. Look for the yellow collection boxes in your residence hall. Please separate donations according to type (food, clothing, shoes, bedding, household items) in the designated boxes. Materials are picked up by U-M Waste Management Services, sorted, and donated to local non-profit organizations. Again this year, we are partnering with Student Life to collect donations for Maize and Blue Cupboard. You can place donations of canned and dry goods, cookware, and personal care items in the designated yellow collection box.
Parking
Some parking meters will be bagged for your move-out parking convenience. Parking is free at those meters. If you park at an unbagged meter, you are responsible for paying the applicable fees. Note that meters are free on Sunday.
