Move-Out Donations

Donating for Reuse and diverting from landfills helps reduce pollution and improve access & equity.

Between finals, saying goodbye to friends, and figuring out summer plans, packing might not be the first thing on your priority list. At Tufts, Move Out is designed to make it easy and simple for you to reduce the amount you throw away. Move Out Waste Stations are available across campus during move-out to donate and recycle unwanted items instead of sending it all to the landfill. All usable goods are provided to future students who need them.

Move Out Donations have concluded for the spring of 2024. Thank you to everyone who donated! Please check your town websites for local donation and waste reduction options if you are moving this summer (updated 5.23.2024).
