At the end of every school year, many students leave behind good, usable items, including blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, little tables, etc.  In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of resources, Phase II was initiated. Plant Services is happy to receive anything that students do not want to take home.

The items gathered are sorted and made available to student summer help and staff, but most of the items are given to different organizations in the local area (Rescue Mission, Goodwill, unwed mothers’ homes, children’s homes, etc.)

Barrels will be placed in the lobbies of the dorms and central living areas (porches of the Weesner, Beals, Hoskins, Munn and Villa Road houses, Newlin Apartments). Please do not donate damaged or soiled items.

Also, please to not place trash in barrels marked “Phase II.” There are drop boxes for your trash located on both sides of campus.

Look for and use these barrels as you prepare to leave at the end of school. Donated items will be stored at Lyda House and will be available to employees/summer students after the first week of May.
