What is Dump & Run?

Dump & Run is a program that collects items students might otherwise throw away when leaving campus in May. All collected items are sorted and organized over the summer, then resold at a large sale when students return in August. 

 

Proceeds of the Dump & Run sale are donated to local nonprofit organizations. Over the last five years, Cornell’s Dump & Run program has donated more than $85,000 to Ithaca-area charities!

 

Cornell’s Dump & Run program is modeled after a national program; visit www.dumpandrun.org for more information.
