扔掉垃圾箱

扔掉垃圾桶，转而捐赠!

的 objective of this program is two-pronged: to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and to support local communities through our donations. 每年, 随着CC学生毕业, 出国留学, 搬离校园, they often realize that they have accumulated more possessions than they need or can transport back home with them. 可悲的是, 其中许多物品最终都被填埋了, 尽管它们本可以被回收利用, 堆肥, 或捐赠.
