Active Transportation Month | Share Our Stuff

Every year, as part of the Share Our Stuff program, items are collected from the South 40 and Village residential areas, as well as nearby off-campus neighborhoods surrounding the WashU area with the intent to repurpose goods from student move-out and divert waste from landfills. Over the five months that follow, collected items are made available to students, university employees, and local non-profits through a complex and time-intensive process of sorting, work-trade, sales, and networking.

New this year, a series of events were hosted in the temporary collection space on the S40 with the aim of circulating these unwanted goods. Students took study breaks to “Sort and Score” earning 10 pounds of goods per each hour that they helped sort the mountains of materials. Students also had the option to buy items at $2/lb. Once the students left campus, employees were able to shop in a rummage sale format, discovering magical finds among the clothes and household items. More>>
