About Chuck It for Charity
Chuck It for Charity is an annual partnership between Sustainable Campus and University Housing to collect all the “stuff” that is usually left behind during student move-out after the Spring semester. The material is weighed, sorted, and redistributed to Tallahassee community agencies in support of their work and the people they help.
Where can I donate?
Blue collection bins: Located in ALL residence hall lobbies. Stay tuned for Spring 2019 bin distribution dates.
Other campus drop-off spots:
- The Center for Leadership and Social Change (Dunlap)
- Bridge Lounge (Oglesby Union)
I live off campus - where can I drop off my donations?
