Last year during move-out, ASU residents donated 10,000 pounds of useable stuff to charity. And they didn't even accept furniture donations. This year, in cooperation with Swift Charities for Children and ASU Recycling, Residential Life is holding two collection events at locations all over the Tempe campus, with additional collection bins at the Downtown, West, and Polytechnic Campuses.
The goal, of course, is to minimize the quantity of still-useful items that end up in and around the dumpsters and compactors during move-out. In addition to charitable donations, residents can also drop off special recyclables. Gather your unwanted items now!
Noon to 10:00 p.m.
Drop off donations and special recyclables at all 13 collection locations across the Tempe campus. Get prizes and raffle tickets!
3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Drop off donations and special recyclables, or just come to relax at our 4 truck locations. Enjoy music, raffle drawings, and prizes!
Standard commingled recyclables (to be placed in regular recycling containers/compactors):
Swift Charities for Children is a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization benefiting local children in need. The organization has raised millions of dollars for charity since it first began in 2004. With more than 200 collection bins in parking lots all over Arizona, Swift Charities for Children collects nearly 100,000 pounds of donations weekly — more than can be used by local shelters. Donated items are sold and the profits given to local children's charities. The program diverts waste from landfills, is 100% nonprofit, and focuses on improving the lives of children here in the Valley.
