| Student Move-out/Move-in Starts this Month
Here is what you can do to help your community and be green.
If you are a University District resident moving-out and have any of the following items that you will not be taking with you to your final destination:
o Furniture in good condition
o Mattresses that are not stained or ripped
o Couches that are not stained or rippped
o Kitchen Utensils
o Bedding
o Clothing
These items can be donated to Volunteers of America and you can schedule a pick-up with them and they will send out a truck to pick the larger items up. They also may have a smaller truck scheduled to pick up the smaller items on your street.
Call (614) 272-2363 today to schedule a pick-up! - They do not accept televisions.
You can also request a pick-up of good, clean, reusable furniture and household items from the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio. They do accept televisions, but you will need to have them pick-up at least one piece of good furniture if they are to pick-up smaller household items and tvs. They will schedule a pick-up within one week of your call to (614) 272-9544. Click here for details.
What should I do with items that cannot be donated?
Items that cannot be donated should be set out next to your dumpster (DO NOT BLOCK THE DUMPSTER) and a Bulk-Item Pick-up Request must be made to (614) 645-3111 or online at http://311.columbus.gov/COCOBS/. This service is free of charge, but a request must be reported before they will schedule a pick-up.
Starting in late August, Bulk Collection Sites will be located throughout the University District. To help the City of Columbus, and to keep our neighborhood cleaner, please transport bulk-items (like damaged furniture, old carpets, unusable mattresses and old appliances) to the Bulk-Item Collection Sites. A map of the drop-off locations will be distributed shortly.
Please remember to place trash and litter in your regular refuse container, and make sure not to block the containers with Bulk-Items. BLOCKED REFUSE CONTAINERS WILL NOT BE PICKED-UP.
Thank you for your continued support of the University Area Commission and our neighborhood. |
