A brief description of the program:
"Dawgs Ditch the Dumpster" is an effort to reduce UGA’s environmental impact while simultaneously supporting the Athens community. At the end of each spring semester, thousands of students move out of their residence halls and head back home for the summer. Through the course of this process, hundreds of tons of otherwise useful items are diverted from the landfill and are donated to those who need them instead of throwing them away.
