Pack-N-Go Sale
The large exodus of resident students can yield a massive amount of unwanted materials. The purge of materials is why University Housing and NCSU Waste Reduction and Recycling are collaborating for another “Wolf Pack n Go sale” on May 15th at E.S. King Village Community Center. The sale starts at 8 a.m and goes until 6 p.m. This is the 4th annual event where donated items left by students are picked up, stored, and sold to the public. All money collected from the sale will go toward environmental education.
The success of this year’s sale depends heavily on the effort and involvement of everyone on campus. Waste Reduction & Recycling reminds students to set aside all re-usable items in their residence hall’s designated Pack N Go container during move-out. Additional areas for furniture and other heavy items have also been marked off near the outside dumpster, eliminating the need to lift these heavy objects and helping to reduce the amount of waste our campus sends to the landfill.
Typical items students donate through the move out process are furniture, electronics, some small home goods and a ton of clothing and shoes and miscellaneous items. Thus spawning the Wolf Pack N Go Sale four years ago.
Arrangements will be made for all unsold items. Last year, nearly half a ton of food donations were collected for the Raleigh Rescue Mission.
Staff, faculty, students and the general public can support the event by purchasing re-usable items at the Wednesday, May 21st sale in the E.S. King Village Community Center. From May 13 - 15th we are recruiting, volunteers are needed for Wednesday (2-5 PM), ), and Thursday (7AM-2:30PM) shifts, Friday (7AM - 6PM.) shifts.
