"The donation drive is geared to students moving out of their dorms and gives everyone a chance to recycle all types of household and other items no longer needed or wanted," said Cyndi Signett, CSUN¹s recycling coordinator. "Because of its location, the community has the opportunity to donate items, too."

The donation center will be located at CSUN¹s student Lot T near Lindley Avenue and Lassen Street. An attendant will be available daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to issue receipts for tax purposes.

Acceptable items include books, blankets, bedspreads, clothing, toys, furniture, computers and other small home appliances.

The items collected will be sold in Goodwill thrift shops to raise funds for local vocational rehabilitation and job training programs for people with physical and developmental disabilities.

The event is sponsored by CSUN¹s University Recycling Program, an Associated Students program, Student Housing and Goodwill Industries.
