Last year the Res Hall Move Out Donation Drive diverted 23,000 pounds of material from landfills and donated to non-profits during move out. This year, for the first time, OSU will work both on-campus and in the Corvallis community to divert even more materials!

Your help is needed on this effort to improve our neighborhoods, keep goods out of landfills, and help the community. You can make that happen by volunteering or donating.

Are You a Student? Donate Rather than Discard.

For those Living on Campus:

Many residents find that they have more in their room than can fit in their ride home. And deciding what to keep is hard when you’re taking finals! If you no longer want some of your stuff, get started now in sorting out donations, using the bags you received on your door. Donation bins are available in your hall and accept:

• Food that is unopened and non-perishable (please place in bag provided grocery bags)
• Toiletries and personal hygiene products (please place in bag provided grocery bags)
• Dry clothing, bedding and towels
• Household items like décor, dishes, lamps, electronics, etc.
• Broken electronics, CDs/DVDs and ink cartridges (to be recycled)
• Furniture and loft bed kit wood

For those Living Off Campus:

At the event they will accept the following from students: furniture, mattresses, electronics, books, school/office supplies, clothes, and kitchen and household wares. Join the event on Facebook.

Thank you for making this a successful Move Out!
