Welcome to the University of Tsukuba, and congratulations on starting your new life here in the Spring Semester of the 2026 academic year!
The Student Support Center organizes the Recycling Project around the start of each semester. We collect items that are still usable and give them for free to students who are starting the new semester at the University of Tsukuba.
Thanks to the generosity of many contributors, we have collected a wide variety of reusable items for you. We hope you’ll find something that makes your new life a little more comfortable!
From kitchenware and laundry essentials to storage items, everything available is still in great condition and ready for continued use. Come visit the Student Commons and discover something perfect for your new home! ** Participation is limited to current members of the University of Tsukuba (students, researchers, professors, and staff).
