ReDorm programs easier to start and sustain.

Who we are
A nonprofit working to make dorm reuse mainstream.
Every move-out, students leave behind furniture, appliances and supplies that the next class buys new. ReDorm Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps campuses collect those items, store them over the summer, and get them back into students' hands at move-in instead of sending them to landfill.
As a nonprofit, we have no owners or shareholders. Campus Gold licenses, merch sales and donations all pay for this mission, including the free plan and free consulting.

Because college move-out waste and move-in overconsumption is a problem too big to ignore.

Recruit, Train and Track Your Volunteers
Move-out needs more hands than your staff has. Open every shift in one pass, sized to how many students leave each day. Volunteers learn the sorting rules with a quick quiz, check in with a QR code at their collection point, and earn a certificate for the hours they actually worked. No sign-in sheets, and no spreadsheet to rebuild at the end.

From the campuses running it
“The easiest part of our move-out.”
“The hardest part of the process was the labor, the convincing people. But the easiest part was ReDorm.”
“It used to take so long, taking pictures, weighing everything. Now all you have to do is search and add.”
“One less report ever that I have to do. That is awesome.”
“ReDorm has been really key to our success in this pilot.”
“What we need is buy-in, and being able to show numbers, to show impact, to prove our purpose. This really helped legitimize the sustainability pilot.”
Partner case study
Move-out to move-in, measured and managed.
In its first season, UC San Diego’s zero waste team cataloged a summer of move-out donations in four days, then opened a move-in shop for incoming students that sold out in two.
- 4 daysto catalog move-out donations
- 48 hoursto sell out
- $14,401kept in students' pockets
Made by student dumpster divers turned climate entrepreneurs.
We lived the bottleneck of move-out. We experienced the chaos and disappointment of break-even move-in sales and guesstimated climate savings. So, we created the organization and platform we desperately wished for, to help every campus run reuse programs that are easier, more profitable, and more impactful.
