Moving out of Halls? Think ahead to avoid a last-minute mountain of items you can’t pack and take away with you.
Every year, we see our waste volumes increase substantially across the move out period, with lots of perfectly usable items thrown out!
This blog is about the pilot Donation Stations being set up in Garden Halls.
If you reside at College Hall or International Hall, we are running a slightly different pilot there [click here].
If you live in any other hall, click here for general advice on avoiding waste at the end of term.
We are piloting 5 Donation Trolleys in your hall this year, so less ends up in General Waste.
There are 5 Donation Stations running at Garden Halls this move-out period.
📍Meeting Room 3A/B
📅 16th May - 21st June 2026
All suitable donated items will be given out to new students in September or donated to charity - circular economy in action!
Box 1: Toilet Paper, Coat Hangers, Crockery, Bin Bags, Laundry Baskets etc.
Box 2: Working Electricals. Broken electrical must be taken to an e-waste recycling point.
Box 3: Toiletries and Cleaning Products
Box 4: Good Quality Clothing Donations - for our campus Clothes Swaps!
British Heart Foundation accepts any usable: Clothes, Accessories, Books, Soft Furnishings.
If you have items that you are unsure if they are suitable for donation, send a picture to sustainability@london.ac.uk and we can advise.
Thank you for helping reduce waste! ♻️
