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

[Marian Brown]

Hi, all. Ithaca College DOES run iits variant of the "dump and run" 
program, called "Take it or Leave It", but our folks sort thru the stuff 
that comes in and hold onto some "hot commodity" items for resale to 
incoming students in the fall.
Other stuff left behind gets sent to Salvation Army or other local 
service entities.
I don't know that our folks have collected all that much silverware over 
the years.
