Donating gently used clothing, books, and electronics

We want what you got!

The annual end of year Y-toss collection isn’t the only way keep items you can no longer use out of the waste stream. The YMCA at Virginia Tech has partnered with Housing and Residence Life to place collection bins in nine residence hall spaces on campus. These bins are a great way to donate small items like books, clothing, and small electronics. The items collected will be available to other Hokies during the Y-toss sale each fall.

Have questions? Please contact Enrique Rebolledo at outreach@vtymca.org.
