University Y's Dump and Run.wmv

Each May, the University YMCAs volunteers collect reusable items that students and folks in the community would otherwise dispose of during the typical move-out and spring cleaning period. The Y sells the items at a garage sale in August when students return. This project reduces litter and consumer waste, saves space in landfills, lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments, and provides inexpensive items for folks to purchase in the fall.
