Acceptable items include, but are not limited to: furniture, clothing, appliances, décor, sporting equipment, electronics and more. Items must be in usable condition.
This is the 20th year that the Office of Sustainability has collaborated with the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties to host the Blue and Gold Mine Sale — an annual yard sale-style event. The sale offers great deals on items donated during the student move-out period.
