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

A place, operated by Campus Sustainability that offers a wide variety of gently-used, donated items to BGSU students, faculty, & staff!

The Campus ReStore is located in the McDonald Hall Annex. Specifically, the eastern section of the McDonald Residence Hall. ReStore customers should enter through the sliding glass double-doors off of College Avenue.

2024 marked BGSU’s Office of Campus Sustainability’s 22nd 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 students at ReStore events throughout the year.

Charities benefitted in 2024 include:

Off The Streets Toledo

The Cocoon

Falcon Food Pantry

Brown Bag Food Project

BGSU Office of the Dean of Students

St. Thomas More University Parish Food Pantry

City of Bowling Green City Schools Athletics Program
