Oregon State University invites students to bring items they will no longer want or need to a drop-off event at the end of the school year! Donated items will go to local nonprofits for reuse.
The 2022 donation drive will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday through Monday, June 11-13 at the Benton County Fairgrounds' Guerber Building (110 SW 53rd St.).
Want to donate but cannot make it? Check out the Corvallis-Area Reuse Directory for a list of places that accept goods.
Items must be clean, dry and in working condition.
*Leaving your bike behind? They can be dropped off at our June 11-13th event or at Public Safety in Cascade Hall June 6-15th. OSU will refurbish abandoned bikes for resale, the goal being to offer students affordable, ready-to-ride bikes at the beginning of next school year. Learn more here.
Volunteers are needed to make this event happen! Lend a hand for these efforts by volunteering in the June 7-15 timeframe.
In 2021, we received donations of 2,711 pounds and around 150 pieces of furniture at the Off-Campus Donation Drive alone!
