Dickinson values sustainability and encourages students to consider the following options during Dickinson's Green Move Out to maximize reuse, build community, and eliminate waste destined for landfills and incinerators, sites that create toxic pollution which negatively impacts local communities. The Center for Sustainability Education, Residence Life and Housing and partners from across the campus and community have come together to provide endless options for the reuse of your unwated items. Please explore this list of recommendations and share information with others. Plan ahead to find the best next home for your unwanted items. 

DONATE: Don't Dump

• Sell, Giveaway or Trade Items Yourself: Use DsonMarket, Dickinson’s online marketplace (), to make money, keep your items in the Dickinson community and help others. This is a safe, inclusive place to sell hard to move items such as appliances, rugs, lamps, electronics, bikes, etc. that other students may want!

• Store Your Items: Non-seniors should consider storage options vetted by Dickinson Residence Life and Housing. Find friends to share space with in a local storage center so that you don't need to give away and rebuy items later!
