To combat the annual spike in illegal dumping and trash overflow during Temple University’s student move-out, Millstone Property Management is taking the lead on a neighborhood clean-up initiative. The company is funding the placement of two large dumpsters for use by both Millstone tenants and other off-campus Temple students to responsibly dispose of bulk trash and unwanted items. Jonathan Beaulieu, a Temple 2015 alumni, is the Co-Founder of Millstone Property Management.
Who Can Use the Dumpsters:
All off-campus residents including Millstone tenants and other Temple students are welcome to discard furniture, mattresses, and other large household items free of charge.
When:
Tuesday, July 29 – Friday, August 1
Where:
Why:
Each year, student move-out leaves behind piles of trash and abandoned furniture across the Temple-area streets causing neighborhood frustration and sanitation strain. In response, Millstone is stepping up with a solution to promote cleaner streets, responsible disposal, and better neighbor relations.
Additional Info:
The dumpsters are being provided with logistical support from Richard S. Burns Company, a local leader in responsible waste management.
All collected materials will be sorted for recovery, with recyclable components; including metals, wood, and clean furniture materials diverted from landfills. This partnership not only helps clean the streets but also ensures a more sustainable end-of-year move-out process, keeping usable resources in circulation and reducing the environmental impact of bulk disposal.
Millstone Property Management views this initiative as a model for responsible property management in urban student neighborhoods, one that addresses immediate community needs while promoting long-term environmental stewardship. “We’re grateful for the student response and proud to continue doing our part to help keep the neighborhood clean and respectful,” says Jonathan Beaulieu.
