Editor\u2019s note: Check out our previous coverage<\/a> of Dump & Run\u2019s other half: the sale!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a storefront in the Shops at Ithaca Mall, a volunteer carries a black mini-fridge past a wall of shelves overflowing with rolled-up blankets. He sets it down among the other small refrigerators, which are surrounded by a vast variety of other donated items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are racks jam-packed with clothing; bins of water bottles, sports balls, and clothes hangers; furniture, including couches; shelving of various sizes; dozens of floor lamps; stacks of clear plastic storage bins; and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mid-August, all these items will go on sale at Dump & Run<\/a>, the annual event offering good-quality used merchandise at major discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the lead-up to the sale\u2014which is wildly popular with college students and local residents alike\u2014volunteers spend some 3,000 hours over four months transporting and sorting the tens of thousands of donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine all of this stuff ending up in a landfill, like it would without the sale,\u201d marvels Karen Brown, a senior director in Student & Campus Life<\/a>, which has been helping coordinate the event since its inception in 2003. \u201cIt can still serve so many purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held during student Move-In at the start of each fall semester, Dump & Run has been known to draw long lines, as eager shoppers seek deals on everything from clothing (both Cornell-themed and otherwise) to sports and fitness equipment to dorm and home essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sale\u2014whose proceeds go to local charities\u2014also offers a limited number of high-value items, such as musical instruments, bikes, and designer clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Dump & Run has previously occupied multiple empty spots in the mall\u2014and prior to that, various places on campus, like Helen Newman Hall\u2014for fall 2025 it has a spacious new home: a storefront that once housed an Old Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the volunteers have had no problem filling every square inch of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year is definitely the largest volume of stuff that we\u2019ve ever had,\u201d says Bill Apgar, a project supervisor with the Tompkins County Probation Department and the longtime leader of the sale\u2019s volunteer efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apgar is also president of Cops, Kids & Toys<\/a>, which distributes holiday gifts to families in need, among other philanthropy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Dump & Run gave the charity a whopping $91,000\u2014garnered from 36 box trucks\u2019 worth of donated merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where does all that stuff come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toward the end of the academic year, students receive information (via emails and posters) about Dump & Run and its more than 50 on-campus drop-off spots\u2014encouraging them to donate unwanted possessions as they move out, rather than tossing them in the trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers from Facilities and Campus Services<\/a>\u2019 building care department monitor the donation bins, transporting items to the sale site as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the run-up to Commencement Weekend, the bins fill so quickly that box trucks run on an eight-hour-a-day loop: load up, drive to the mall, unload, drive back, and repeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome years it\u2019s hot, and some years it\u2019s raining,\u201d says Cindy Lockwood, associate director for building care, \u201cbut our team wants to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the donations arrive, volunteers inspect, sort, and price each item. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As little as possible will go to the landfill, as any items left over after the sale closes are offered free to nonprofits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past recipients include a Tompkins County homeless shelter (which got enough bedding in 2024 to outfit its entire facility) and the local SPCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur volunteers want to be a part of this mission, because we know what Dump & Run means to our community,\u201d says Scotti Slocum, a building care manager who helps lead the effort to bring donations to the mall. \u201cEverybody looks forward to it, because it\u2019s a great time for bargains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a Wednesday in June, Apgar looks around the cavernous store, already filled with thousands of items\u2014with plenty more in the back, waiting to be added to the sales floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rattles off some price estimates: \u201caround $3 for a T-shirt, $8 for a box fan or standing lamp; mini-fridges start at $40; around $5 a blanket.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the sale begins, its first few days will be reserved for college students (at Cornell, Ithaca College, and beyond) before opening to the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge benefit to have this sale, when we have students coming from across the country and across continents,\u201d Lockwood observes. \u201cDidn\u2019t bring enough clothes hangers? Here\u2019s a bunch, for a couple dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
