From Tuesday 22nd of April until Monday 23rd June 2025, Your Green & Blue Space will be accepting donations to give your pre-loved items a new home this spring. You can donate kitchenware, homeware, sealed/in-date food, clothing and small electronics. There will be various drop-off locations on campus including: Spittal Hill - Laundry, Alexander Court - Reception, Union Street - Reception, Green & Blue Space, John Forty’s Court - Laundry and Beech Court - Reception. 

5.7 million tons of textiles are thrown away every year into landfill, help to reduce your environmental impact by donating as part of The Big Spring Clean. Your Green & Blue Space has recycled 40 tonnes of donations through their Fair Share project since 2013, saving more than 600 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. 

Volunteers are needed to collect and sort donations, please sign up by getting in touch with Gabi Brame, Sustainability Development Coordinator by emailing gabi.brame@stir.ac.uk
