What is it?
Dump and Run keeps six semi-trailers worth of unwanted goods out of Champaign-Urbana’s dumpsters and landfills each year. This project reduces litter and consumer waste, saves space in landfills, lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments, provides inexpensive items for folks to purchase in the fall - and acts as a major fundraiser for the University YMCA.
On May collection days, the University YMCA collects reusable items from move out and spring cleaning. Bring accepted items to the University YMCA from May 6-17.
The BIG SALE is on August 24th and 25th at the U of I Stock Pavilion.
Volunteer 6+ hours for first dibs during the August pre-sale. Sign up now to volunteer or learn more by visiting our Dump & Run: Volunteer page.
