We are excited to announce that our clothing and textile collection program is now open to the public! Through this program, you can drop off items that can't traditionally be donated- such as towels, bedding, socks, underwear, and stained/torn items. These will be made into new products such as cleaning cloths, furniture stuffing, and insulation. Items in good condition will be sorted out to be resold or donated (however we encourage you to donate to local thrift stores first to keep items in our community).

Not only does this program help the environment, it also generates funds that will be used towards our sustainability initatives here at VU!

Ready to drop items off? The collection bin is located just inside the North entrance of the Harre Union (1509 Chapel Drive). See the attached map.
