Drop and Swap

Drop and Swap is an annual year-end waste reduction program established by two English 400 students.

The program allows students to do one of two things: donate unwanted items at the end of the academic year during move out or they can swap out an item that they intend to donate for a previously donated item.

The goal of the program is to divert waste from the local landfill and provide non-perishable food and gently used items to non-profit organizations.

Collection boxes for Drop and Swap will be available beginning the week of exams.
