Dump & Run Raises $30K

November 27, 2007 - 12:00am
By Wendy Wang

Once again proving that one student’s trash is another one’s treasure, Cornell’s Dump & Run sale in August raised more than $30,000 from about 7,500 shoppers, $27,000 of which was donated to four local non-profit organizations: Cops, Kids, and Toys; Better Housing for Tompkins County, Inc., the Dream Factory and the Drop-In Children’s Center. The amount allocated to each organization varied with the number of volunteer hours it contributed to the sale.

The Dump and Run program recycles unwanted things left behind by students in May by selling them to students arriving in August. Volunteers from the non-profit organizations and student volunteers work to collect everything, but that’s only the beginning of a long process.
