Trash to Treasure (T2T) is a student-run recycling and resale program. T2T operates through a series of donation drives and resale events. Since many UT students live in another city, state, or country, they are limited in how much they can pack and bring home. Our services allow them an alternative to trashing perfectly usable items. The collected items are stored, sorted, and resold to the campus community at “garage sale” style events during the following semester. All items are priced at $1.00 each. Sale proceeds benefit the CEC’s student projects and programming. Any items that are not sold by the end of April are donated to local charities or recyclers.
