Current Initiatives
Here are just a few of the things we’re currently working on
Take it or Leave It (TIOLI)
Take it or Leave It (TIOLI) is our free, on campus thrift "store." Students faculty and staff are encouraged to come by to pick up or drop off clothing, books, dishware, art supplies, office supplies, etc.
TIOLI is located in the basement of Clarke, in the Lower Quads. When you arrive, there will be a phone number by the door, just text or call and we'll come let you in.
TIOLI is currently open all weekdays 12-1 and 4-5.
Circles Composting
Circles Composting works to eliminate unnecessary food waste in the Circles apartments. Any residents of the circles can sign up here.
Once you sign up, we'll bring you a compost bin and bag. Just fill the bin with any compostable items that accumulate throughout the week. Put the bin out on your doorstep Sunday mornings before 11am, and we'll be through to pick up your compost and bring you a new bag.
Friday Night Food Donation
Every Friday of the semester, Eco Reps and any volunteers package any extra food from the dining hall and send it out to the Friendship Donations Network to be shared throughout the Ithaca community.
Anyone is welcome to join us! We meet on Friday nights around 7:45pm outside of CC Dining Hall. Depending on the amount of food and the number of volunteers, we're usually done by, at the latest, 9:30pm. Come for part of the time or the whole time, we'd be happy to have you!
Gardens Composting
New! Composting will be starting soon in the Gardens Apartments. It'll work the exact same way as the Circles Composting; we'll bring you a bin to fill throughout the week and then we'll pick it up and empty it every Sunday. More info will be provided directly to anyone who signs up.
