Moving out at the end of the semester often finds students with items they no longer need.

Waste Not is an annual program that minimizes campus waste and simultaneous provides access to low-cost items! Students can donate items they no longer need, and in the fall, Waste Not hosts a tag sale for students and the community.

From now until May 16, donate your items at your local drop-off location! See the end of the video for details.

🚌❌ Did you know XtraMile service in Middletown could end June 30th?

On Monday, February 23rd, there will be a public hearing to discuss Senate Bill 009: An Act Supporting Commuters and Micro-transit Services. If this bill passes, it will allow Connecticut’s Department of Transportation to keep funding micro-transit services like XtraMile.

If you use XtraMile Middletown and want to see it continue, you can submit testimony ahead of Monday’s public hearing to let legislators know why the service is important to you. You can find the link to submit testimony in our Linktree.
