2009-10 Recycle Sales
Fall: Fall Recycle Sale unfortunately had to be cancelled since we have been unable to get anyone to chair/organized the event. (Posted 22 Sept 2009)
Spring: TBD
The UWA Recycle Sales are fund raisers for UWA scholarship fund and other community projects. Sales occur twice yearly, in both Spring and Fall. Everyone in the Fairbanks community is encouraged to move gently used items off their garage shelves and out of the backs of their closets and get them back into use by bringing them to the UWA Recycle Sale.
UWA provides a place where sellers can drop off their items in the morning, we sell them beginning at noon, and the sellers return in the late afternoon to collect their money (and any of their items that did not sell). UWA gets 20% of the price of each article that sells. Sellers can get rid of items they are not using, make money, and support a good cause.
Each Sale features a treasure trove of clothing, books, outdoor gear, CDs, toys, sports equipment, camping gear, small appliances, baby furniture, musical instruments, craft supplies, building supplies etc. The idea is to get the items back in to use. In that way the Recycle Sale is important to students, UAF personnel and our community.
Let the bargain hunting begin, Fall 2008!
