At the end of every school year, many students have good, reusable items that they don’t want to take home. These items include clothing, blankets, kitchen supplies, small appliances, room decorations, small furniture, etc.
In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of resources, the university collects these items through an initiative we call Phase 2 and gives them a second life. We’re happy to accept reusable items, today (Friday) through Sunday, April 28.
Collection barrels will be placed in dorm lobbies across campus. There will also be a drop-off location at Plant Services (#60 on the campus map) during normal business hours, in or near the receiving bay located to the left of the main entrance. Please place donated items in bags inside the barrels.
We do not accept:
There will also be a few extra-large dumpsters for trash located on campus. By law, computers, monitors, and TVs cannot go into the trash. They can be placed beside the barrels; please label them if they are broken.

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 1.
At the end of spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is conducted. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered, or inoperable will be impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office.
If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
Impounded bicycles will be kept at our office for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the CPS office. Junk bikes will be recycled.
