Don't throw it away - Give it away!
Collecting donations May 7 - June 1, 2012
What is Dump & Run?
Dump & Run is Cornell's annual campus-wide waste-reduction and recycling program. Student and staff volunteers collect items students might otherwise throw away when leaving campus in May, sort and organize the collected items over the summer, and resell them at a large community sale when students return in August.
Proceeds from each Dump & Run sale are donated to local nonprofit organizations. In spring 2011, Dump & Run volunteers helped collect approximately 20 tons of reusable items, and raised more than $45,000 at the August 2011 sale.
Dump & Run is organized by Cornell students, with support from Campus Life. Cornell's program is modeled after a national program; visit www.dumpandrun.org for more information.How can I donate?
