Blue and Gold Mine Sale diverts tons of goods from landfills

Blue and Gold Mine Sale

The 20th annual Blue and Gold Mine Sale diverted nearly 25 tons of goods from landfills while raising more than $25,000 for the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties — the highest single-year total in its 20-year history.

The annual student move-out sale, held on May 17, accepts donations from students in residence halls and off-campus housing for the sale at Milan Puskar Stadium.

The event is part of the University’s waste reduction efforts in support of the sustainability goal of increasing campus-wide waste diversion to 50%.
