unh-renu: recycled everything new/used
Spring Semester Move-out Days
Begun in 2002, UNH-RENU (Recycle Everything New/Used) is a volunteered based initiative that collects unwanted items when students move out at the end of the year.
Indira "Dee" Henley, a student in the Community Service program at the Thompson School, began UNH-RENU. Since Indira graduated, the program has been maintained by staff and student volunteers.
