Rummage Rampage 10 years 2016-2026 announcement
The tenth annual Rummage RAMPage begins on Friday, July 24, with donations being accepted. Sales begin on Saturday, July 25, and continue through Saturday, Aug. 1, at the Ames Intermodal Facility parking ramp, 129 Hayward Ave.



The City of Ames, in partnership with the ISU Office of Sustainability, hosts this community garage sale designed to keep reusable items out of the waste stream. There are 52 non-profit organizations sending volunteers and sharing the proceeds.



Rummage RAMPage grew from the desire to repurpose items often left on the curb during the annual move out and lease changeovers, and to keep these items out of the landfill. The event works by selling items that are donated. Volunteers from local non-profit groups help the City of Ames and ISU Office of Sustainability staff run the sale. The event hours are:



Item Drop-off ONLY

Friday, July 24, noon - 6 p.m.

Sales ONLY

Friday, July 31, noon - 6 p.m.
