U Don’t Need It 2019

U Don’t Need it is the annual Student move out program sponsored by both the City of Newark and the University of Delaware.  This program offers a drop off location where students can take anything they don’t need or want when they leave the Newark area.  All items collected are first offered to local charites, and then are made available to the public for purchase.

What Can be Dropped Off?

Some examples of items dropped off in the program are:
