MoveOutATX is a seasonal donation program that helps University of Texas at Austin students in the West Campus area give gently used items a second life. During summer move-out, curbs and dumpsters often overflow with reusable goods. MoveOutATX sets up conveniently located donation stations where students can drop off unwanted items instead of sending them to the landfill.
MoveOutATX began in fall 2017 as a pilot program following an eight-month, community-led planning effort organized by the City of Austin. MoveOutATX now partners with the University of Texas (UT) at Austin Office of Sustainability and UT Office of the Dean of Students to reduce waste, support local reuse organizations, and make the move-out process easier for students when apartment leases end on July 31.
