Moving out and have donations for furniture and items in reuse condition? HUH is excited to share that we are continuing the Fill the Truck program!

Operated in partnership with Harvard Recycling and the Office for Sustainability, we collect your unwanted items and get them to those in need, while keeping sustainable move-out practices in mind.

Please do not leave any unwanted items in your apartment, hallways, lobbies, trash areas, or elsewhere on the grounds of your property.

 

Pick up begins May 8th!
Here's what you can donate:
