Moving out? Do you have unwanted stuff in your dorm room that you want to get rid of? Donate your unwanted stuff, give the landfill a break, and avoid unnecessary cleaning fees! The University offers two programs to get rid of your items in a responsible way. By participating you are helping the planet and others in need. Items collected will be donated to the University’s Food Pantry, Mt. Hope Family Center, Goodwill of the Finger Lakes, and the Open Door Mission.
