Find new treasures each week at the University of Minnesota ReUse program. The warehouse is open to the public on Thursdays through Sundays.
With an organization as big as the University of Minnesota you can image just how many items (including furniture, supplies, equipment) they end up with that no longer have a use in any of the 250 University buildings. That’s where the U of MN ReUse Program comes in!
The University of Minnesota ReUse Program collects all of these items from the Twin Cities Campus and makes them available to University departments or individuals for purchase.
The program’s mission is to divert these materials from the waste stream. They also recycle unwanted steel, aluminum, wood, cardboard & paper and reduce campus construction waste that would otherwise end up in the landfill.
While the ReUse program tends to get some extra publicity during April, it is a great way for the University to promote reusing throughout the year, not only surrounding Earth Day.
You can always check the University of Minnesota ReUse Program’s Facebook page to preview items currently available and get an idea on pricing that you may find at the warehouse. The variety of products from furniture to cleaning supplies to clothing to just about everything means you’ll find something different every time you visit.
Find the ReUse Program Warehouse at 883 29th Avenue SE in Minneapolis.
