University of Minnesota ReUse Program

The University of Minnesota ReUse Program operates as a unique sustainability initiative right in the heart of Minneapolis, offering an eco-conscious shopping experience unlike typical thrift stores. Located at 883 29th Ave SE in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this program serves a dual purpose: diverting usable university surplus items from landfills while providing affordable options to the community. Shoppers can explore a rotating inventory of furniture, office equipment, lab supplies, electronics, and other items once used by the university. What makes the University of Minnesota ReUse Program special is its commitment to environmental stewardship and community access. Unlike conventional thrift stores, you're shopping directly from university surplus, which means quality institutional-grade items at fraction-of-retail prices. Whether you're a student furnishing your first apartment, a startup outfitting an office, or a treasure hunter seeking unique finds, this Minneapolis gem delivers both value and environmental impact with every purchase.
