Have items that you no longer need but are still in good condition? By donating to the campus thrift store or Green Move Out efforts, your items will find a new home. Lafayette is committed to achieving a 40% diversion rate from the landfill by 2030 and 60% by 2035, and participating in the thrift store is one way you can help reach our goals.

- Place bigger items in the Pod containers located at Conway, March Field, Ruef, Bailey Health Center, and Watson Courts.
- During the semester, if you have items you no longer need, please reach out to sustainability@lafayette.edu to see if the on-campus thrift store has the availability to accept your items.
