Now celebrating its 13th year, UDon’t Need It provides students who are moving out of University of Delaware housing or off-campus residences an opportunity to put items they no longer need to good use while also being friendly to the environment.

Students must present a valid student ID card, and landlords must show proof of owning a Newark rental property in order to dispose of items. Others will be required to pay $10 per regular pick-up truck or car load of refuse and $20 for a larger truck or trailer.

The goals of the project are to reduce local landfill waste and to redirect reusable items to the community.

Volunteers at UD’s Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) campus location at 540 South College Ave. will help sort items for public sale days.

Items in good and reusable condition that will be accepted include sofas and loveseats, living room chairs, ottomans, dining tables, dining chairs and stools, coffee tables and end tables. Furniture items also include bookcases, storage units, cabinets, shelving units, entertainment centers, desks, futons and bed frames, dressers, mattresses and box springs.

Household goods include lamps, carpets and rugs, home décor items, housewares (including dishes, pots, pans and utensils), bedding and linens, fans, air conditioners, small appliances, large appliances, and outdoor, patio and lawn and garden items.

Electronics welcomed for donation include televisions, stereo systems, computers and components. Miscellaneous items include tools, toys and games, bicycles, sports and exercise equipment, books, school and craft supplies, clothing and unopened, nonperishable foods.

Operating hours for donations and disposals only are:

• 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Thursday and Friday, May 23-24;
• 8 a.m.-noon., Saturday and Sunday, May 25-26;
• 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, May 28-31;
• 4-8 p.m., Saturday, June 1; and
