UBReUSE is a student-run campus waste diversion program supported by UB Sustainability and Campus Living. The program has two main components, the ReUSE Move-Out Collection at the end of the Spring semester, and the ReUse Market, at the start of the Fall semester. The program captures goods during move-out that are useful but no longer wanted or needed by their owner. UBReUSE's goal is to connect these materials with new owners and reduce the amount of stuff going to landfill.
