Welcome to Yale Housing’s Spring Salvage Program
In an effort to reduce waste and the disposal of quality used furniture, Yale Housing runs a furniture adoption program to help residents, while reducing the number of items sent to our landfills. This program is only available during the months of April - September.
How does the program work?
- This program is for donations of Large Furniture items only and NOT for items for sale
- Residents will be responsible for posting their item and description with a minimum of 2 photos
- Once the item has been adopted, the resident will coordinate the drop off of the item to one of our storage facilites.
- If the item has not been adopted by the end of the program remaining items will either donated to a local non - profit of Graduate Housing choice.
- Large items must be disassembled befoe brining to storage facility.
- Adopted items must be picked up from the storage location by the new owners.
- Adopted items are on a first come, first serve basis
- Adopted items will become the property of the new owner and the new owner is responsible for discarding the item if no longer wanted.
- Leaving unclaimed items in your housing unit will result in fines as outlined in your Yale Housing license agreement
- Please submit one donation form per item
Unacceptable Items:
- Mattresses
- Upholstered Furniture
- Broken/Damaged items
- Sofas - Salvation Army can pick these up at a convenient time prior to your departure: 1-800-728-7825
Yale Housing asks that you be respectful of others and only adopt what you need. All residents are reminded that the swap room is available for small portable items and clothing.
