Moving out of your dorm doesn't have to mean tossing everything into the dumpster. At Scrap-It, we believe in clean, conscious living — and that includes move-out day. Here are 3 sustainable ways to clean out your dorm room while doing good for the environment (and your wallet).
#1 - Host a Dorm Room Pop-Up Sale
Turn your unwanted items into cash or community goodwill. Use your common room or front lawn as a mini thrift market. Add signs, music, and even snacks to attract buyers. Invite your dormmates for a bigger turnout. Pro tip: partner with local non-profits and donate part of the earnings.
#2 - Coordinate a Bulk Pickup with Scrap-It!
Rather than overloading the dumpster, go in with friends and schedule a bulk junk pickup. Scrap-It offers discounted rates for shared loads, and we recycle or donate usable items to local organizations. We’ll even help sort it into categories (electronics, clothing, furniture, etc.).
Want to impress your RA or housing director? Suggest a Scrap-It Campus Cleanout Event and we’ll coordinate everything — bins, signage, removal, and more.
#3 - Donate What You Can
From mini fridges to lamps, dorm gear is in high demand. Find out what your local thrift stores or shelters need — Scrap-It can transport usable items to those locations on your behalf and give you a tax-deductible donation receipt.
