Before students move out of their apartments, houses, or dorms, Tech Treasure is a collaboration with Goodwill seeking to collect furniture, appliances, and clothing that would otherwise end up in the dumpsters. Goodwill trucks will be positioned all over campus from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. every day from this Wednesday to Saturday looking to collect these items at the following locations:

  • Woodruff Parking lot - 890 Curran Street
  • Maulding Hall - 501 Sixth Street
  • Global Learning Center - 301 Tenth Street
  • Brittan Tea Room - 640 Williams Street
  • 4th Street Aparts - 733 Techwood drive NW
  • North Avenue Apartments - 120 North Avenue

The North Avenue truck should be positioned at the roundabout out front, but if there are any logistics problems with facilities and housing then it will be put in the parking deck beside NA-South.
