When in doubt, don’t throw it out! On Dump & Run: May Collection Days, the University YMCA collects reusable items from move out and spring-cleaning. Bring accepted items to the University YMCA from May 12-23.
Each year, the University Y’s Dump & Run program:
- reduces litter and consumer waste
- saves space in landfills
- lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments
- provides inexpensive items for folks to purchase at the Big Sale in the fall
- and acts as a major fundraiser for the University YMCA
Volunteer 6+ hours at Dump & Run and get first dibs at the August pre-sale!
