Furniture Pickups For IU Apartments

We’re excited to announce that we’re once again collecting furniture donations from students who are moving out this year. By donating your furniture, you can help future students who might not have the means to buy their own furniture. And the best part?

All donated furniture will be given away for free to incoming students next year.

The event runs from April 29th to May 9th, and we are accepting donations at Tulip Tree & Campus View Apartments. Please see below for more information.

Donation Guidelines

  • We will have trailers parked at each of the 2 IU locations during our donation hours.
  • Bring your furniture down to the trailer parked in the parking lot. There will be a sign next to the trailer.
