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.

Where do I put new or gently used items?

  • Collection of these items occurs during Green Move Out at the end of the spring semester.
  • Green bins will be placed in each residence hall, Farinon, Marquis, and RISC (outside room 203) where students can place items to be donated.
  • 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.
