Subject: Re: Dump & Run funding confirmation

 

This is to confirm that it is acceptable for campus to provide support to the Dump and Run Program coordinated by the YMCA. This program allows residence halls to dispose of items students don’t want to take home with them at the end of the spring semester by having YMCA volunteers collect them. Incoming students get the opportunity to purchase these items in August as they return to school. If this program didn’t exist, these items would end up in a landfill. Furthermore University Housing would be responsible for their disposal.

 

Regarding truck usage, University staff should be the only individuals to drive University vehicles or ride in them. YMCA volunteers can load and unload the vehicles.

 

Please note that I have explained to the YMCA staff that this is a one‐time deal and that we won’t be able to offer the same type of support next year. They are working on providing me with more information about how they use the funding generated from this program.

 

I have copied all University staff I have I have talked to regarding this matter and they can offer their perspective, if I omitted anything.

 

Thanks to all of you for making this happen, this one time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Lowa,

 

Please confirm (in writing) that it is acceptable for campus to provide support for the YMCA Dump & Run collections from our residence halls.

If so, F&S will contribute a truck and driver this spring, but the long‐term solution needs to identify the appropriate funding source.

 

Thanks,
