This year during Move Out, don’t throw away items that don’t fit in your car – donate them to the YMCA at Virginia Tech’s Ytoss? Six collection points will be available on campus for you to donate your gently used items.

May 3rd to May 8th from 10:00am to 5:00pm at the following locations:

• West End Market
• Slusher Beach: between Slusher and Campbell Halls
• Upper Quad: between Monteith and Shanks Hall
• The Prairie (2 locations): between PY, O’Shag, Lee and Pritchard Halls
• President’s Quad: between Johnson, Miles, Barringer, Newman Halls
• Collection boxes will be available at Oak Lane Housing
  

 

Items collected in May allow students and community members to make affordable purchases of necessary items during August Move In while keeping our campus and community clean and reducing waste going into landfills. This event is quickly becoming one of Blacksburg’s most notorious “garage sales.” Items being collected include:

• TVs and other electronics
• Microwaves and refrigerators
• Furniture, rugs, and clothing
• Fans, hutches and more
• Non-refrigerated foods, paper products and laundry detergent (opened or unopened) to be given to a local food bank

 

We are also seeking volunteers. We need assistance at the collection points each day; it’s a great chance to study for exams and hang out in the sun. If you work 4 hours or more, you’ll get a free Ytoss? t-shirt! Please contact ymcasp@vt.edu with questions or to volunteer for our third annual Ytoss?
