Back by popular demand: The Free Store is back this October for Sustainability Month!

UNB Sustainability is excited to relaunch this highly anticipated initiative, offering students, faculty, and staff a chance to recirculate usable goods. Every single item is free of charge.

Throughout October, both campuses will be hosting Free Store events.

Forestry and Geology Building, Room 304
Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Every Thursday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

We invite you to donate gently used items such as clothing, kitchenware, décor, and entertainment items or stop by to shop at no cost. By accepting unwanted items and redistributing them within our campus network, this initiative reduces landfill waste and actively supports a circular economy model here at UNB.

Please note that donations will only be accepted during store hours.
