Furniture Re-use program

Led by UBC Facilities’ Infrastructure Development, the Furniture Reuse Program offers gently-loved furniture items at discounted prices right here at the Vancouver campus, helping you save money and support sustainability.
2023 Soft plastic and styrofoam pick-up schedule is available
Did you know that plastic bags (a type of soft plastic) and styrofoam are not currently recyclable at UBC’s sort-it stations? There are several collection points across campus for pickup. If you are generating a significant amount of soft plastic or styrofoam waste, you can participate in our pick-up program.
