Our Projects
Trash to Treasure
Trash to Treasure is a huge goods recycling program run by the Campus Environmental Center. Each year we collect students' unwanted belongings as they move out in May, store them over the summer, and recycle them in a huge garage sale when school starts in August.
We recommend signing up for a Trash to Treasure reminder - just put your email address in the box to the right; we'll only send you five emails a year, nothing more.
Volunteers Needed
We need more than 100 volunteers! Our official signup sheet will be linked here after Spring Break, but you can email the address below at any time. As a volunteer, you will get a free Early Bird Pass to the sale, so you can get the best deals. You'll also get access to a volunteers-only secret preview, where you'll get to scope out the stuff before anyone else. This is a campus-wide recycling effort, and we need your help!
It's all for a good cause!
Trash to Treasure provides three-fold benefits: tens of thousands of pounds of stuff is diverted from the waste stream, students can buy cool, cheap goods for their residences, and the money raised supports campus environmental programs, like recycling, litter reduction, and energy conservation.
