Trash or Treasure<\/strong>\u00a0is a free, in-person initiative designed to support campus efforts to reduce waste and discourage illegal dumping. Participants can bring items they no longer need to either properly dispose of or leave for others to take. The event even features donated items from University Housing, giving students a chance to find useful items while also avoiding costly city fines related to improper disposal.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with Trash or Treasure, the Off-Campus Resource Center, in partnership with 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Office of Sustainability, is offering a\u00a0free large item pick-up on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 between 8am and 2pm.<\/strong>\u00a0This service helps ease the stress of disposing of unwanted items and contributes to a more sustainable campus community. All collected usable items will be made available at our Trash or Treasure event on Thursday, May 21 from 10am\u20133pm, and unusable items will be responsibly discarded.<\/p>\n
