What is Move Out?
Every year, at the end of the spring semester, thousands of American college students move out of dormitories and apartments in their college community. Many of these same students find that there are items they can not or do not want to take with them. The Lehigh Valley experiences this spring ritual every year at each of the seven colleges in the area. Some students have the time and transportation to take their unwanted clothing, appliances, food, books, kitchen equipment and other usable items to charities. Many, however, find that some things simply won't fit into their cars as they are packing to leave, or some students do not know where to take donations. Whatever the reason, college communities find that dumpsters overflow, neighborhood sidewalks fill with bags and boxes of usable but unwanted items and scavengers, both human and animal, tear open bags, root through dumpsters and leave a mess behind.
