Dump and Run keeps over 30 tons of used, quality goods out of Champaign-Urbana’s dumpsters and landfills each year. This project reduces litter and consumer waste, saves space in landfills, lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments and provides inexpensive items for folks to purchase in the fall.

Due to concerns surrounding COVID-19 all collections for 2020 have been cancelled, and we will not be holding the Big Sale as planned.

We look forward to returning in Spring 2021 for May collections and will be partnering with Facilities & Services at the University of Illinois. F&S will be providing a collection space, trucks, and other resources to the program and we hope to return next spring with a more efficient and successful program than ever before, leading to even more quality items being diverted from our waste stream and into people's homes.

Thanks to the community and the University of Illinois for making Dump & Run a success each year, and we will see you next spring!
