Tulane Trash to Treasure

A student-led waste reduction initiative at Tulane University. We collect unwanted dorm items from students and sell them back at 50-90% off store prices.

All proceeds go to local New Orleans environmental and social assistance nonprofits. Move out time at Tulane is hectic. Not everything you need to pack can fit into a storage shed or a card board box, but did you know that Tulane students wind up throwing away TONS of reusable dorm room and school supplies, like printers, mirrors, furniture, and more every year? No more! Tulane Trash to Treasure r

edirects these otherwise-destined-for-dumpster dorm supplies and sells them back to students during move-in time in the fall for heavily discounted prices. Win: No more guilt about throwing away perfectly reusable items! Win: Save on dorm room and school supplies next fall! It's win after win with Tulane Trash to Treasure. Contact us to see how you can help make a difference with Tulane's Trash to Treasure program!
