I go to college. College students that I know are … wasteful. They throw away anything that doesn’t fit in their cars for the way home. The college that I go to brings in extra dumpsters to fulfill the massive need for dumpster space.
Here’s the idea. Collect all of those thrown away couches, dressers, book selves etc. Talk with the campus. Offer a ‘recycling’ service to the campus. Selling it that you are doing a ‘green service’ and saving the school money by not having to get as many dumpsters.
Here’s what you have to do:
- Talk to the school. See if you can set up a central location.
- Rent a Uhaul for a day.
- Pick up the stuff.
- Rent out a storage location (or put it in your garage).
- Put the crap in the storage location.
- Save it until the beginning of school.
- Put all the stuff on craigslist.
- Collect the cash.
Simple and easy. I am thinking about trying it out next year. I just thought of it too late this year. Has anyone tried this before? What do you think? Have you had any idea’s lately?

Thats a great idea! My school puts dumpsters out in front of all the dorms as well.
They have seperate dumpsters that you put clothes and other stuff in to donate to charity. This is a great idea as well if you want to do some philanthropic activity.
good idea! Thanks for a very useful information………..
