Donate Your Unwanted Items

When you leave, you need to take all of your belongings out of your accommodation. So here are some easy ways to pass on the things you can't or don't want to take with you when you leave:

Gift it, Reuse it

What better way to get rid of the things you no longer need than to pass them on to a fellow student? The Gift it, Reuse it scheme allows you to do just that. Simply take your unwanted items to a collection point close to your accommodation, and we'll make them available for free to new students moving into the University from September. Not only will this help those arriving at university, but it will reduce waste and unnecessary waste.

Items need to be clean/washed and in good condition (we can't accept anything that is broken). Any electrical goods must have a UK CE plug.

What to donate 

Please do not donate
  • Crockery i.e. plates, bowls, mugs, kitchen utensils, pots, pans and woks
