👉 Don’t Dump It, Donate It!

While moving out, clear your clutter sustainably and help the community.

SGA has boxes in each residence hall lobby where you can donate specific items to Tuscaloosa-area charities.
Give-N-Go U-Haul trailers provided by Housing and Residential Communities are in front of or near each residence hall through May 13 to collect items to donate to area United Way partners. Students living off campus are welcome to put items in the bins.
See SGA’s Facebook and Instagram to learn more.
