This year, the International Office at Erasmus University Rotterdam is looking to take a circular approach to international students coming and going. To ensure that no items go to waste, we’re giving the opportunity to departing students to donate any items they may no longer need to students that will begin studying in the fall. 

Drop off

Drop by the food hub in Mandeville between July 2 and September 30 to donate any items that you may no longer need. Accepted items include:

  • Clothing/Accessoires 
  • Small electronics/appliances (i.e. hair dryers, blenders, toasters)
  • Home decor
  • Bedding
  • Small furniture (i.e. side tables, chairs)
  • Sealed cosmetic items
  • Books in English

Collect items

Between July 2 – September 30, incoming students will be able to “shop” the donations given by departing students and employees. All items will be free and there is no charge for entry.
