Dump and Run
What is it?
The basic concept of Dump and Run is simple:
Volunteers and staff at the University YMCA collect reusable items that students (and the local community) would otherwise dispose of during the typical move-out and Spring cleaning period in May.
The Y then sells the collected items at an annual garage sale held in late August when the students come back. This project reduces litter and consumer waste, saves space in landfills, lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments, provides inexpensive items for folks to purchase in the fall - and acts as a major fundraiser for the University YMCA.
