Background: The basic idea of Re-USE (the Re-Used Stuff Emporium) evolved from a desire to promote the concept of reuse as a means of waste reduction on the university campus. We set up our first permanent exchange center in 2001, and currently have a total of five. Re-USE allows all members of the campus community to donate unwanted items to our exchange centers. All our collected items are made available at our various exchange centers and are provided to students, staff, and faculty at no cost.

Re-USE also runs a number of other projects, including an annual clothing sale and a semesterly reader/notebook drive. These projects supplement our main function on campus, tapping into large pools of reusable materials on the UC Berkeley campus for the first time.
