Join us for a hands-on workshop at UCCS Farm House focused on direct sowing—the process of planting seeds directly into the soil outdoors. This is a great opportunity to learn about preparing garden beds, choosing the right seeds, and sowing techniques for crops that thrive in the open ground. Whether you're a beginner or experienced gardener, you’ll gain valuable knowledge for your own garden!

Don't Trash It; Donate It! Move Out Donation Program
Mon, 05/10/2021
09:00 AM

At the end of every academic year, students throw away hundreds of goods that could be donated. Old clothes, furniture, decorations, towels, bedding and other necessities - we are providing students with the opportunity to donate their belongings during two, week-long events.

 

 

What happens to your stuff after you throw it in the blue bins? We'll be visiting the Bestway Disposal MRF (Material Recovery Facility) to find out!

 

We have limited seats on the shuttle bus, so if you have not already received an email invitation, please email Kimberly at kreeves2@uccs.edu or call x3089 to inquire about space on the tour. 


Can't join us, but want to see what a MRF is like? Check out this video produced by Bestway Disposal.
