Get rid of your unwanted furniture or take someone else’s at UT event this month

Don’t junk that couch, kids. MoveOutATX, an annual donation event in West Campus, is coming this month, co-sponsored by local groups including Austin Resource Recovery. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 28-31, students can visit one of eight donation stations in North and West Campus to drop off gently used furniture, household items, small appliances, clothing, cleaning supplies, unopened food and more. The items will go to local reuse organizations. Each day that the donations are accepted, some furniture will be taken to the Free Furniture Market, open 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. at UT’s Wright-Whitaker Sports Complex (287 W. 51st St.). Any Austinite can grab a piece of furniture there on a first-come, first-served basis. Item limits may be enforced, and participants must transport their finds on their own.
