Over 170 tons of waste diverted from l和fills
垃圾2宝藏 (T2T) is a 可持续发展研究所 program powered by students with the mission of assisting students, UNH 和 the local community in reducing waste. T2T’s main initiative is to run the annual spring move-out collection 和 fall Move-in weekend sale, significantly reducing unnecessary l和fill waste 和 providing families with back-to-school savings. The success of T2T is achieved through strong student leadership 和 passionate, active volunteers who want to promote sustainability. T2T collects massive quantities of furniture 和 dorm items from students at the end of each school year to recycle or resell at discounted prices the following fall. 自成立以来, T2T has saved students over half a million dollars in back-to-school expenses 和 diverted over 174 tons of waste from entering l和fills.
