Project Move Out 2025

Rutgers University and the City of New Brunswick are partnering in Project Move Out to recover discarded furniture, appliances and textiles in order to keep these items out of landfills and reduce our carbon footprint.

Project Move Out provides for FREE curbside pick-up of bulk items ONLY for Rutgers students who pre-register between April 20 - May 19 (noon). The collection will take place between May 21-May 23. You will be assigned a day based upon your address. Please note that if your apartment complex has regular garbage pick-up through a private hauler, the pick-up option is not available to you. For additional information or to register go to https://ruoffcampus.rutgers.edu/project-move-out


A Project Move Out collection area on campus is also available for students (with a Rutgers ID) to drop off their bulk waste items May 19th- May 23rd between 7 a.m. - 3 p.m.

No registration necessary for drop off, Rutgers ID required.

Location: Behind the College Ave Gym, Lot 30.

***On Wednesday, May 21 and Tuesday, May 27 there will be a drop off location run by the City of New Brunswick on the grass triangle at the intersection of Central Ave and Bristol Street. They will be there from 8am until 2pm (may finish earlier if the dumpsters are filled). This drop off location is only for these 2 dates. You will need to show your Rutgers ID to drop off your bulk items.***
