Student Support Center will launch the “RECYCLING PROJECT” to collect “still usable items” from July to August, coinciding with the change of semester. These items will be redistributed for free to students, including incoming freshmen and other students, in the new semester.
Let’s reuse items that are too good to throw away but no longer needed, and pass them on among students! This project is open only to those affiliated with the University of Tsukuba (students, researchers, faculty, and staff).
