You’re invited to check out free retired university furniture items on offer to take home for personal use during the Furniture Store Open Days on Friday 4 August from 12pm until 3pm, and again on Thursday 10 August from 10am until 1pm on level 0 of C7A.
The Furniture Store was set up as a method of incorporating sustainable initiatives into everyday University practices. Established in 2010, the re-circulation of used furniture items has diverted more than 450 tons of reusable items from landfill and reused more than 5000 items.
Furniture is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and all the team asks for in return for the free item is a small donation to the Salvation Army to support the local Ivanhoe Estate.
All items must be collected on Saturday 12 August from 9am onwards.
For more details, see our website or email Property Sustainability Officer Sally Northover.

Do we need to be able to take the items on the spot? Wondering how I might best arrange transport not knowing what is available. Many thanks
Well done Sally and Sustainability crew! As someone who is experiencing moving house, I see the importance of simple downsizing merthods 😉
Just wondering what the website link is to view the items. thanks
Hi Jenny,
There is no online catalogue – it’s simply a matter of show up and see what’s available. More information on the process is here: goto.mq/furniture-store-open-day.
