Pack for Good reuse banks

We’ve teamed up with British Heart Foundation to bring the charity’s Pack for Good scheme to the city’s most popular student areas until September 2024.

Twelve temporary reuse banks have been installed in streets close to the city’s two universities. Open to students and other residents, the banks can be used to donate any household items you no longer want, in order to reduce waste and help the charity generate vital stock for their shops.

The banks accept a range of household items including: clothes, kitchen and other household items, small electronics, books, video games and DVDs.
