Reuse Project

Don’t dump it – donate it!

The Reuse Project is the University of Brighton end of year reuse scheme, run with the British Heart Foundation, Bevendean Food Bank and Phoenix Food Shop.

The project runs across all halls of residences to reduce waste as students move out of their halls of residence. Instead of throwing away any items you no longer need, donate them to the British Heart Foundation to reduce waste, save natural resources, and help fund life saving heart research!

The British Heart Foundation will be the collecting donations to sell in their local shops, funding their work to realise their vision of a world without heart and circulatory diseases.

Food donations are also being collected and will be donated to Bevendean Food Bank and Phoenix Food Shop.

If you would like to find out more about the British Heart Foundation, their local shops and their work, visit their webpages.

See the posters in your halls for details of what you can donate and collect a red bag to fill with donations from your halls reception OR use any bag you have or donations e.g bin bag or bag for life. Collections can be received up until the move out date of your halls of residence.
