Penn State’s annual spring Trash to Treasure Sale is slated for Saturday, May 30 at Beaver Stadium on the University Park campus, and volunteers are needed to sort donations and to help out on sale day. If you or your group are looking for a way to help your community -- and have some fun along the way -- lend a hand to Penn State’s largest town-gown recycling effort.

Each year, the sale raises about $50,000 for the Centre County United Way and its partner agencies and helps divert an average of 68 tons of usable goods from landfills. It takes 20 hours to sort every ton of items donated by Penn State students.

Volunteers -- individuals and groups -- are needed during morning, afternoon and evening shifts. No previous experience is necessary, and volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Register here for times that fit your schedule -- shifts begin on May 6. Volunteers will receive confirmation emails with parking and additional information after they register.
