Do you have items or gifts that you no longer need? Why not donate them to Junkbusters!
Every summer, the Guild, supported by the University, hosts Junkbusters, giving you the opportunity to donate unwanted clothes, books or household items that still have life in them, all whilst raising money for a good cause.
We’re very proud to say that due to your support and previous donations, we’ve been able to raise over £181,000 since 2011!
The festive period is fast approaching, and we know many of you will be preparing to leave your student accommodation either for the final time or you’ll be packing ahead of the Christmas break.
So, from 17 November – 17 January, we’ll have Junkbusters donation baskets located across student accommodation sites where you can donate any unwanted items or gifts and help us raise money for Shelter.
All you need to do is dig out the things you no longer need, put them into a bag and head to one of our collection points with your items.
Where can you find the donation points?
- Shackleton Reception, The Vale
- Jarratt Hall Reception, Selly Oak
- Pritchatts Park Social Hub, Pritchatts Park Village
What items do we accept?
- Clothes
- Shoes
- Handbags
- Sports Equipment
- Kitchenware
- Books
- Toys and Games
Please note, we don’t accept duvets, pillows, broken or dirty items, knives, hangers, food, bikes and helmets!
Our aim is to encourage a more sustainable way of living and reduce waste by collecting your pre-loved or unwanted items. So, what are you waiting for? Get donating to Junkbusters!
