Isla Vista, CA - Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) has been preparing for move-out since the beginning of this year. An important goal of the District has been to facilitate a more sustainable and less disruptive move-out process at the end of each school year. Historically, this has posed a major issue with waste management. Every year, “Move Out” generates about 1 million pounds of waste to be collected. Over 20.2 million pounds of material has been removed from the streets of Isla Vista since 2000.
In March IVCSD hosted the first-ever community-wide yard sale. The rain didn’t deter 96 people from hosting 30-yard sales at their houses and the Isla Vista Community Center. The event was such a hit and highly requested that there will be another opportunity on May 27th for residents and community members to host or attend a yard sale from 10am-2pm.
