Trash to Treasure

Trash to Treasure is a huge goods recycling program run by the Campus Environmental Center. Each year we collect students' unwanted belongings as they move out in May, store them over the summer, and recycle them in a huge garage sale when school starts in August.

We recommend signing up for a Trash to Treasure reminder!


This year's Garage Sale is from 9 AM to 3 PM on Sunday, August 22nd in the Recreation Sports Center.

Free Parking in lots 70 & 99 near the RSC.

Volunteers Needed!

We need plenty of volunteers! As a volunteer, you will get a free Early Bird Pass to the sale, so you can get the best deals. This is a campus-wide recycling effort, and we need your help!

It's all for a good cause!

Trash to Treasure provides three-fold benefits: tens of thousands of pounds of stuff is diverted from the waste stream, students can buy cool, cheap goods for their residences, and the money raised supports campus environmental programs, like recycling, litter reduction, and energy conservation.
