Dump & Run keeps over 30 tons of used, quality goods out of Champaign-Urbana’s dumpsters and landfills each year. 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.
This year Summer Collections will begin on Monday, July 31, and culminate with the Big Sale on August 19 and 20. All collections and the sale will be held at the U of I Stock Pavilion, in cooperation with the College of ACES and Department of Animal Sciences.
Spring Collections for University of Illinois Housing are being handled through Facilities and Services, and are no longer run by the University YMCA. For more information visit https://go.fs.illinois.edu/ or email recyling@illinois.edu.
They look forward to collecting as many great items as they can from the community and hope that you will join in helping find usable goods a new home. Thanks to the community and the University of Illinois for making Dump & Run a success each year, and they will see you this August!
