Hi, all. Ithaca College DOES run iits variant of the "dump and run"
program, called "Take it or Leave It", but our folks sort thru the stuff
that comes in and hold onto some "hot commodity" items for resale to
incoming students in the fall.
Other stuff left behind gets sent to Salvation Army or other local
service entities.
I don't know that our folks have collected all that much silverware over
the years.

I've always gotten bulk tableware/silverware for reuse at large
gatherings through the Student Reuse Project at Cornell University,
where at the end of the school year tons of no-longer-needed student
furnishings and household items in good condition were sold for a
fraction of the cost of new. But I just did a search of the Cornell
site, and it looks like nobody has continued the project this year. I
also don't know of a similar program at Ithaca College. The national
"Dump & Run" project, which was in Ithaca a few years ago doing the same
thing, seems to be no longer extant. Does anyone know if either of
Ithaca's campuses is doing something like this for 2008 and beyond?

Hi All,
I'm doing a Permaculture neighborhood picnic this July and am looking
for a service organization that provides silverware (and reuses by
washing)
We will have about 150 people. Any suggestions greatly appreciated
