A brief description of the program:
The Sustainability Integration Office and the materials reuse program (ReCoop) assist students, staff, and faculty with the collection of unwanted reusable items (including furniture, appliances, clothing/shoes, and school/office supplies) and give or sell them back to the campus community throughout the year. The SIO and Recoop also run a materials reuse/exchange/donation program (Clean Sweep) for students during move-in and move-out in order to reduce the purchase of new items and the disposal of reusable items. The ReCoopOFFICE program is dedicated specifically to College-owned items and provides a free exchange.
