LEWISTON — Bates College is set to host its Clean Sweep yard sale on Sunday, June 9. Doors open at 8 a.m. at the Bates Underhill Arena, 145 Russell St.
This year’s event is in support of John F. Murphy Homes.
The bulk of the sale items come from Bates College students who donate an estimated 5,000 items, including dorm room furniture, appliances, electronics, sports equipment, camping gear, rugs, clothing and kitchenware.
The Bates Clean Sweep yard sale has three goals: Keep students’ used goods out of the waste stream, hold a low-cost yard sale for the people of Lewiston/Auburn, and donate all the proceeds to local nonprofits.
