<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>WHAT:</strong><span> The University YMCA's Dump & Run, a community recycling and fundraising program, ramped up its May 2013 collections by taking over the University of Illinois's Annual Housing Salvage Drive. This means that because of staffing capacity issues under the U of I's Salvage Drive, this year, for the first time, Dump & Run volunteers additionally went from dorm to dorm collecting, sorting, and packing reusable items donated from move out days and spring cleaning. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>On August 14th, collections will resume at the U of I Stock Pavilion. Most items are welcome, but construction materials, car seats, non-working electronics, large exercise equipment and mattresses are not accepted. Items will be up for sale on August 24 and 25.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>HOW:</strong> Already, the Y has received a greater variety of reusable useful and fun items that would have been likely ended up in the landfills from dorm move-out days if the University Y had not helped out the University of Illinois.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>WHY:</strong><span> Now in its 12th year, the University YMCA's Dump & Run Program has increased its capacity to help students and community members throw less away during the Spring and help people furnish their homes for a low cost in the fall. Proceeds from the Dump & Run Sale benefit the University Y's mission, events, and programs both on campus and in the community.</span></p>
