Are you leaving your University accommodation for the summer? Or are you in a decluttering mood and want to give your personal space a big clear out?
The Bristol Big Give campaign is run every year by the Bristol Student Community Partnership, which is a collaboration between UWE Bristol and the University of Bristol. Its aim is to encourage students to donate any unwanted items before moving out of accommodation.
Are you leaving your University accommodation for the summer? Or are you in a decluttering mood and want to give your personal space a big clear out?
The Bristol Big Give campaign is run every year by the Bristol Student Community Partnership, which is a collaboration between UWE Bristol and the University of Bristol from April to September. Its aim is to encourage students to donate any unwanted items before moving out of accommodation, which aims to promote reuse and recycle and prevent landfill. The campaign then distributes these items to the British Heart Foundation as well as other local charities.
Last year, students in the UK diverted the equivalent weight of 142 double-decker buses from landfill! Not only is this incredible, but the whole campaign also aims to raise general awareness of the importance of recycling and responsible waste management. It also makes moving out a LOT easier and more efficient for you.
All sorts of items can be donated – think kitchenware, homeware, clothing, shoes, books, sports equipment, unopened food and more. Essentially, you can donate anything other than pillows and duvets, broken or dirty items, knives and hangers.
You can also drop off items to one of the donation bins on campus, a British Heart Foundation shop or organise a free collection here.
