CU Yard Sale

Resource Central: Materials Reuse 6400 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder, CO, United States

Resource Central and the Environmental Center at the University of Colorado Boulder are teaming up to divert thousands of pounds of material from landfills this year during the CU student move out. Since 2019, an estimated 65,000 lbs of dorm materials have been diverted from landfills through this program. This year, the range of accepted items has been broadened, which will likely result in an increase in the amount of pounds collected.  We will bring these items back to our Materials Reuse Facility, where they will be available for the public to shop at a sharply discounted rate.
