News Center Maine and WABI (Channel 5 in Bangor) covered the return of the University of Maine’s Clean Sweep event after a two-year hiatus, highlighting efforts to reduce waste by redistributing dorm items to students and community members while supporting the Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism. “For years, students who had items that they couldn’t fit in their cars or couldn’t take home with them would just kind of leave stuff aside or put it in the dumpster. So in an effort to reduce things going into the waste stream, we started collecting all of that stuff,” said Lisa Morin, coordinator with the Bodwell Center.
