DONATE UNWANTED ITEMS TO CLEAN SWEEP! Now in its eighth year, Clean Sweep has become a highly anticipated end-of-term tradition for departing Bates students and local non-profit organizations. As you are moving out, leave your unwanted clothes, furniture, appliances, electronics, sports equipment, camping gear, rugs, kitchenware, etc. in the collection areas located in the lounge (sometimes the laundry room) of every student residence. Volunteers from local non-profit organizations will be out on campus collecting everything and sorting, cleaning and preparing the items for a massive yard sale - in our case the entire Underhill Ice Arena! - all proceeds benefiting the participating local non-profit organizations. Need help with furniture donations? Call or email Julie Rosenbach 786-8367 or jrosenba@bates.edu.
