Having a sort out before you move out?

Students on the Move, from your Community Wardens Team, can help you responsibly dispose of anything you no longer want or need when you move out:

  • Extra waste collections – If you live in private accommodation, they’ve arranged for Exeter City Council to put on free extra collections for your non-recyclable waste, on dates in June and July. You’ll need to book your move out date in advance.
  • Glass recycling – if you live in private housing and can’t get to a recycling point, they may be able to transport your glass recycling for you. Book in advance, first come first served.
  • Donate to charity shops – Before throwing things away, remember you can donate things you no longer want, or need, through local charity shops.  As part of Students on the Move, there’s a partnership with British Heart Foundation (bhf.org.uk/shop/donating-goods), CoLab Exeter (colabexeter.org.uk/) and TurnTable (turntable.org.uk/donate_furniture_how.html). You can take your items to their stores, or book a collection via their web pages.
  • Donate unwanted food to a Community Larder – Drop off your food donations to St Katherine’s Priory Community Centre (EX4 7JY) on Fridays 10am- 12pm or contact the team to transport it for you. 

Get more details on these Students on the Move services, and how to contact the Community Wardens Team, on the Community page (exeter.ac.uk/about/community/uni/).
