Are you in need of some cheap summer clothes? A gently-used mini-fridge? How about a lamp and a shelf to put it on?
If you said yes, you’re in luck! A new initiative on campus called Tar Heel Treasure has saved these and other used items from the annual end-of-semester trash heap and will soon sell them back to the community at yard sale prices. By collecting everything from futons to flip-flops, they have diverted a huge volume of perfectly usable items from the landfill.
Best of all, the proceeds will be donated to good places—the Eve Carson Memorial Fund and the UNC Children’s Hospital—so you can shop with the knowledge that you’re helping our environment and our community!
The sale starts this Saturday, May 16th at 7:30 AM and lasts until 3 PM (cash only). It will be located indoors on Municipal Drive off of MLK. For details and directions, please visit their website, http://tarheeltreasure.unc.edu.
Come see what treasures you can find!
