The name of the campaign(s):
Dump and Run

A brief description of the campaign(s):

In 2004, Ohio State Students for Recycling started a yearly campaign called Dump and Run. Dump and Run’s goal is to facilitate a means by which reusable items are collected and sold at a discounted price to new owners, thus decreasing the amount of waste left behind from students who leave campus. Items collected include furniture, lamps, text books, office supplies, linins, dishware, and various other salvageable products. Drop off locations are set up around campus at the end of each term and then a yard sale is held. Local charities receive the money collected by Dump and Run sales.


A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):

The results of the Dump and Run campaign are visible and ongoing. In 2011, Dump and Run prevented 9.3 tons of waste from being disposed in a landfill and donated $4,000 to local charities.
