Moving out of campus housing? At the end of each academic year, the University offers two programs for students living on campus to offload household items in a responsible way: Move-out Cleanout and Dump and Run. Download the flyer for the 2025 Move-Out programs here!
Move-Out Cleanout
Each spring around move-out time, look for collection bins typically located in the main entrance way of each residential building. You can donate:
- Clothing and shoes: Large blue Goodwill collection boxes are located outside of each residential living area.
- Unopened non-perishable food: Collection barrels are in the main entryway of each residence hall. Fraternity Quad residents can bring their goods to Sigma Epsilon House.
- Unopened new toiletries: Collection boxes are placed in the main entryway of each residence hall. Fraternity Quad residents can bring their goods to Sigma Epsilon House.
- Electronics: Bring any data-storing devices to the UR Tech Store in Rush Rhees Library. Label all other electronics with “Recycle” and bring to the Sage Art Center loading dock.
Sponsored by University Facilities and Services. Our partners include the University’s Food Pantry and the Mt. Hope Family Center, Open Door Mission, and Goodwill of the Finger Lakes.
2025 Collection
For 2025, donations will be collected between April 28 and May 19. For questions, please contact the Sustainability Office.
