Reusable Office Supply Exchange (R.O.S.E)
The Reusable Office Supply Exchange (R.O.S.E) is an on-campus source for free office and school supplies available to the campus community in Nelson Hall West 216.
- R.O.S.E focuses on resource accessibility in addition to waste reduction. R.O.S.E is an on campus resource that is a storehouse for used school supplies. Cal Poly Humboldt departments, local businesses, and students donate these supplies which allows these resources to be made free to the wider campus community and thus easily accessible to other students.
- R.O.S.E offers these donated items for free, allowing vulnerable student populations to acquire necessary school supplies without facing financial repercussions.
- Through donations, R.O.S.E negates the need to produce products that create a waste stream of their own.
- Fun Fact: on average R.O.S.E saves Humboldt students a collective $8,000 each semester. During the Fall 2019 semester, students saved over $11,000 and diverted approximately 1,528 pounds of waste from the landfill.
