This event has been modified and rescheduled due to flooding in North Campus – our space is now ready to discover!

We can accept donations (materials listed below) any time the Circularity Center is open. Search our website for “move in sales” or “circularity center” to verify open hours, as time vary. You can also reach out to Laurie Brady to arrange a drop off: lmbrady@wustl.edu.

The Circularity Center is the physical location of several WashU programs with the mission to serve students, staff and faculty, as well as the broader community while keeping valuable items out of the landfill. Current programs include Share Our Staff (for students), the Office Supply Exchange and WashU Reuse for internal surplus property exchange.

The Circularity Center is operating as a pilot, launched in May 2022 and funded through the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor for Administration. From April – September, the Circularity Center operates Share Our Stuff, a program that collects and processes materials donated from students moving out of on-campus and off-campus housing, and makes the materials available for reuse to other students moving into housing over the summer and fall. From October – April, the Circularity Center is available as a resource for offices, labs, and departments looking for gently used office supplies, equipment, electronics and furniture.

Support students by building our inventory!

We’ve already held numerous sales for students starting leases in June. Help us build up our inventory by bringing select household items during our furniture drive!

Note: Donations of surplus university property or personal property of the types of items listed below are being accepted. If donating university property, please check with the appropriate departmental leaders to ensure you are approved to donate the items.
