Donate, Don't Waste
Are you moving out for the semester and have items that you no longer want, or can’t take with you?
Donate them to the Sustainability Team’s collection of household items that will be redistributed to students who need them at the start of the new Semester.
Items that you can donate include clothing, bedding, kitchenware, e-waste and stationery.
You can drop your items off at the following on-campus collection station:
Level 1, Building 168, Parkville outside the UMSU reception.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8.30am – 5pm (9am – 5pm outside semester)
The on-campus collection station for Semester 1, 2024 will close on Friday, January 5.
Additionally, there are multiple internal collection stations at participating student accommodation venues. These currently include Lisa Bellear House, The Lofts, Little Hall, Graduate House and Trinity College.
SAVE THE DATE!
A campus-wide "Thrift Market" is happening on Wednesday, February 28 at Market Hall.
More information and registration here.
We are also looking for student volunteers to assist with sorting the items, weighing and categorising items for a case study and helping facilitate our “Thrift Market” event at the start of Semester 1, 2024.
Volunteer hours will go towards a Sustainability Advocacy Melbourne Plus credential.
Applications are now CLOSED, thank you to all of our dedicated sustainability volunteers!
