BU Sustainability’s Goodwill Not Landfill program’s reuse pilot program aimed at graduate students debuted this summer as students moved out and new ones moved in. Those moving out donated lightly used items at GWNL bins, which were collected, sorted, and stored until the new grad students moved in. From August 4 to 6, the incoming group had their pick of the gently used items for free.
