Moving Out? Not sure what to do with your furniture, appliances & other items?
Here are a few suggestions for dealing with all the stuff you can’t take with you when you move out and for reducing the stress of moving out. 
  1. Start thinking about and planning what you will do with your unwanted items.
  2. Donate your items to a good cause. Check out the Donation Town website to locate a R.I. charity that will pick up your donated clothing and household items.
  3. Consider donating your items to the next tenant or another JWU student who will be living off-campus.
  4. Bulky items such as, mattresses, tables and chairs, small appliances can be disposed of by contacting the Providence Waste Management Dept. Here are some FAQs from the Providence Department of Public Works.
  5. Store your items in a local storage unit until you able to retrieve them at a later time.
Please Note: Donation bins will also be placed inside the Downcity Garage from May 10-23!
