Donate reusable items to the Phase II drive
Do you have reusable items that you don’t want to take home?
In an effort to keep dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of resources, Plant Services will collect these items to give them a second life. We are happy to accept reusable donations today through this Monday, May 4.
Please place all donated items in bags inside the collection barrels located in residence hall lobbies across campus. For those in apartments and houses, items can be brought to the receiving bay located to the left of the main entrance at Plant Services (#53 on the campus map) during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), during finals week.
Please note that we do not accept trash, damaged or dirty items, undergarments, socks, liquids or chemicals. However, you may place labeled chemicals in a bag or box next to the donation barrels for proper disposal. All sealed, unexpired food should be taken directly to the Bruin Community Pantry in Lewis Apartment #1.
Additional guidelines for large items include:
- Electronics: Working appliances and electronics can be placed next to the lobby collection barrels or brought to Plant Services.
- Large Non-working Items: These should be placed next to the outside dumpsters and labeled “broken” for collection. Do not place items where they could pose a trip hazard or impede traffic flow.
- Prohibited Trash: By law, computers, monitors, and TVs cannot be placed in trash dumpsters.
Questions? Contact the Plant Services office at 503-554-2010 during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Thank you!
