[SustainableTompkins] silverware + what's going on at CU & IC for student end-of-year goods recycling?

[Maura Stephens]

I've always gotten bulk tableware/silverware for reuse at large 
gatherings through the Student Reuse Project at Cornell University, 
where at the end of the school year tons of no-longer-needed student 
furnishings and household items in good condition were sold for a 
fraction of the cost of new. But I just did a search of the Cornell 
site, and it looks like nobody has continued the project this year. I 
also don't know of a similar program at Ithaca College. The national 
"Dump & Run" project, which was in Ithaca a few years ago doing the same 
thing, seems to be no longer extant. Does anyone know if either of 
Ithaca's campuses is doing something like this for 2008 and beyond?
