Trash-to-Treasure Fund Raiser to Benefit Towson University Go Green Initiative

Bargain prices for furniture, appliances and more

TOWSON, Md. ─ Furniture, appliances, household goods, clothes, shoes, decor, laundry detergent, toiletries and books are just some of the items that will be available at the Trash-to-Treasure fundraiser on Friday and Saturday, May 24 & 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Burdick Hall, Gym1.

Items are collected from students as they move out of the residence halls at the end of the academic year. Prices will be extremely low, and all profits will go towards the Go Green Initiative at Towson. Donation bins will be available in the residence halls from May 10-23. The community and off-campus students may bring items for donation to Burdick Hall on May 23.

TU’s Go Green Initiative encourages students, faculty and staff to take an active role in developing and promoting green awareness on campus. Thanks to their work, TU is now home to a number of local, national and worldwide environmental programs, ranging from energy competitions to video-based awareness campaigns. These programs have helped foster an awareness of green initiatives that enable the university to decrease its solid waste percentage and energy conservation rates.
