Donate household itemsÌý

The Give & Go Donation Drive at CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø assists over 7,000 students in 26 halls during their on-campus residence departure. The significantly large amount of waste produced during this time can end up in landfills. The goal is to capture as many usable items as possible in good working condition. This program increases awareness and provides the opportunity to participate in local charity, contemplate responsible purchasing in the future and decrease disposal of usable items.

CUÌýcampus residence halls and Bear Creek will have access to donation areas fromÌýApril to May.

Acceptable items:

• Clothing
• Electronics
• Fans
• Lamps
• Mirrors
• Storage containers
• Non-perishable food
• Personal care products

Please donate items that are usable and in good working condition. Sort out broken or heavily used items. Take trash and recycling to your hall dock for proper disposal. In 2019, the drive collected 34 tons of material donated and left behind by students. This year, CU Recycling, Housing & Resident Life and Facilities Management are working with multiple non-profit organizations to collect and disperse the donated items to those in need.
