Since 2019, Hanover's Office of Student Life has provided a Community Sale after graduation as a means of keeping discarded items after move-out out of landfill(s). The sale is open to both the campus and larger community: the college supports many low income residents through this sale. A food pantry is also available, and may be used by anyone at the sale as needed.
