BGSU Campus reStore
The Office of Campus Sustainability is working to reduce the amount of solid waste generated on campus while conserving natural resources through the practice of "re-use" at BGSU!
Campus reStore
Operated by Campus Sustainability to reduce landfill waste and offer a wide variety of gently-used, donated items from campus to BGSU students, faculty, & staff!
The Campus reStore is currently located in the McDonald Hall Annex which is the northern subsection of the McDonald Residence Hall. Campus reStore patrons should enter through the sliding glass double-doors off of College Avenue, across from Life Sciences.
Next Event:
TBD
BGSU ID required. Please bring your own reasonably sized reusable bag! Reasonable limit policy will be enforced.
Our policies are typically as such:
NO creating piles, shoppers MUST be able to carry and remove all items from the store, NO re-entry after leaving.
Follow Campus Sustainability on social media for most current updates!
Donate to the reStore!
Does your office or campus organization have unused supplies/items that others could find useful? Instead of sending them to the landfill, donate them to be reused through BGSU's reStore thrift sale events!

2025 marks BGSU’s Office of Campus Sustainability’s 23rd annual "When You Move Out, Don’t Throw It Out" (WYMO) program, a campus-wide reuse and waste-reduction initiative! WYMO collects still-usable, but unwanted, items from students as they're moving out from the residence halls to prevent these items from getting sent to a landfill.
These items are then offered to local nonprofits as well as given back to the BGSU community at special reStore events throughout the year.
Charities benefitted in 2025 (so far) include:
St. Vincent de Paul Non-profit Thrift Store
Charities benefitted in 2024 include:
BGSU Office of the Dean of Students
