Don't throw it away - give it away!
SALE DATES: August 22-23, 2009
What is Dump & Run?
Dump & Run is a recycling program that collects items students might otherwise throw away when leaving campus in May. All collected items are sorted and organized over the summer, then resold at a large sale when students return in August.
Proceeds of the Dump & Run sale are donated to local nonprofit organizations. Over the last six years, Cornell’s Dump & Run program has donated more than $120,000 to Ithaca-area charities!
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.
