Haverford (RE)uses is a sustainable initiative with the goal of reducing our carbon footprint on campus.
This can be done by diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for new purchases (and the accompanying packaging). Through the (RE)use initiative students are encouraged to give their unwanted items a new life by donating them to be used by others. Our initiative involves a (RE)use store, as well as, partnerships with Haverford’s food pantry and GreenDrop.
It is governed by the Committee for Environmental Responsibility (CER) and currently staffed by volunteers, student workers, and the Arboretum Program Coordinator. Additional support comes from the President’s Office and the Council for Sustainability and Social Responsibility (CSSR).
To visit the (RE)use Store, please make an appointment on our calendar. Once you have made an appointment, visit the store at your scheduled time. Enter through the main door of Comfort and proceed down the stairwell to the basement. The (RE)use Store is right around the corner to the left. Please note that there is not an elevator or ramp to the store. If you are unable to navigate the stairs, please let us know before your visit and we can coordinate an alternative approach to your appointment, (e.g. a FaceTime call). If you are locked out please email hc-reuse [at] haverford.edu.
You do not need to make an appointment to drop off your belongings during move-out. Please bring all donations either directly to the (RE)use Store in Comfort or to the POD containers on Hannum Drive in HCA (outside of Apt. 35). See the calendar above for collection dates and times.
Bring your donations to the POD container on Hannum drive and check-in with the attendant on duty. They will assist you in sorting your donations into the proper bin. Minifridges may not be brought to the POD, they should go directly to Comfort Hall.
Enter through the main door of Comfort and proceed down the stairwell to the basement. The One Card Reader will accept all student IDs during the drop-off hours. Once in the basement, there will be a collection attendant on duty to assist you with dropping off your items in the designated areas. Please note all fridges must go directly to Comfort Hall.
