ENSAs End of Term Donations Drive

Moving out of your accommodation for the summer? Why not have a clear-out and support your fellow students by donating any unwanted clothes, accessories, and homewares.

What we're looking for:

• Clothes in good condition
• Books and Textbooks
• Bags and accessories
• Supplies (pens, notebooks, scissors, paper, etc.)
• Homewares (blankets, games, cushions, etc.)
• Kitchen utensils (pots, pans, mugs, cutlery, etc.)
• Unused and sealed toiletries 
• Non-perishable food items (e.g. bags of rice, pasta)

Where to donate:

There are donation bins located at our campus Swap Shops. These are located at:

• 1.C.30 Sighthill (ENSA Advice Office)
• 1/48 Craiglockhart (ENSA Advice Office)
• Inside the Jack Kilby Computing Centre at Merchiston. 

Sustainability 

In September, the Swap Shops will be stocked up with donated items to help new and returning students save money on essentials and hopefully stop them reaching for fast fashion and cheap, easily breakable homewares. 

Swapping and buying second-hand clothes is better for the environment as it reduces textile waste and creates a circular economy in our community. Instead of using new raw materials (and energy) to create more new stuff (which is likely to be poor quality and disposed of in landfill), a circular economy reuses things whenever possible to cut down on waste that goes into landfill and reduce the resources we use to create new things. And it saves you money, too!
