As Binghamton University students pack up their belongings at the end of the semester, many find themselves with items they no longer need or just can’t transport back home. Instead of throwing them away, the Move Out Project gives those items a second life. https://bit.ly/4dhwjVN

Moving out? Donate what you can’t take with you through the Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP).

Drop off on campus May 4–19, use outdoor sites May 13–15, or schedule an off-campus pickup May 11–31: tinyurl.com/DonateMOP2026.
