Introducing the 'Retriever Restore' Green Move Out initiative!
Students in the Halls and Apartments will have the option to donate their unwanted, gently used items as they pack to move out to then be recirculated for FREE back to our own campus community, managed by Retriever Essentials and the Office of Sustainability.
In green, labeled donation bins in your lobby, you can donate decor, appliances, small furniture, unopened food, mirrors, and more! This helps keep your items out of the landfill, and gives them a second chance with another member of our campus community! All students, faculty, and staff will be able to visit pop up shops in the Graduate Student Lounge and Retriever Essential Space as donations come in and pick out second hand items. Students may also feel free to pull items right out of the donation bins in their lobbies if they please.
This program is currently in a pilot phase, so only some items will be kept for redistribution in the Retriever Essentials space in the Commons, and the rest will be donated to the Baltimore community. Do not hesitate to reach out to The Office of Sustainability (sustainability@umbc.edu), Residential Life, or Retriever Essentials for help.
**Please see is below of the accepted items. Please do not donate clothing, or bedding items.**
