Collecting new and used clothing

We’re collecting clothing until Oct. 20 as part of Waste Reduction Week and Circular Economy Month. Donations don’t have to be in perfect condition but must be clean and fixable. You can drop off your clothing at two locations: the New Westminster Campus in room S3900 and the COQ campus in room A1190, between 9am and 5pm.

We are accepting: 

• Sweaters, jackets and shirts  

• Jeans, pants and shorts  

• Dresses and skirts 

• Scarves and gloves (winter items are especially needed) 

• Children’s clothing 

• Socks (must be brand new and in original packaging) 

• Backpacks and laptop bags 

We will not be accepting underwear, footwear or any household items. 

Clothing contributions will be given away at the Find It > Fix It event at the end of October, where students can pick out clothes for free and receive additional free sewing lessons on-site for repairs or alterations. Missing buttons, broken zippers, holes and more can all be repaired on-site with tutorials by FABCYCLE. You are also welcome to bring your own clothes from home and repair them during the event!
