<p>i collect books that people are throwing out and i give them to charity. i donated over 1,000 books so far.</p>
<p>Also, i collected/fixed up and donated over 50 children's bikes.</p>
<p>do these count as ec's?</p>
<p>It won't count as an EC, but you can mention it in one of your essays. </p>
<p>The book thing is kind of odd. Where do you find the books?</p>
<p>neighbors, friends, teachers, and craigslist</p>
<p>i found that people were usually too lazy to donate them directly, so i acted as the middle man</p>
<p>that is so cool</p>
<p>that is like totally awesome11111!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!</p>
<p>i would view it as community service, and, imo, that's an EC. I say yes.</p>
<p>I second Sheed...dude, if you are doing so, DO MENTION IT EXTENSIVELY! that can VERY LIKELY make you SHINE among bunch of applicants! ;)</p>
