Incoming freshmen (left) Jayne Ancona, West Des Moines; and Annika Parks, Urbandale, try on for size one of the many couches available to them Monday at the fourth annual Rummage RAMPage, going on all week at the city's intermodal parking facility on Hayward Avenue. The city and university sustainability programs are among the sponsors of this low-cost, volunteer-driven event, intended to keep useable furniture and housekeeping items out of a landfill at lease changeover time each summer.
The eight-day sale continues through Aug. 3, when the prices on remaining items drop in half. Sale hours are noon-6 p.m. (Thursday-Friday) and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.
