FAQ - RESTORE

GENERAL

Where is the old Moholt kindergarten?
Just down the hill from the new Moholt kindergarten- here’s the link to us on Google Maps!

Why are you doing this?
We’re just a bunch of people who don’t like seeing good stuff go to waste.

This seems really cool, how can I get involved?
Send us a message on FB or email info@restore-trd.no! We’re always happy to have more volunteers. We especially need volunteers in December/January and May/June. Check out the Contact page for details!

TAKING

When can I come by to take things?
Check our Facebook page for details and updates.

How much does this cost?
Items are free for students!

How is that even possible?
All these goods were donated by past students to help you out. We ask that you pay it forward by bringing the items back when you’re done with them 🙂

We are also lucky to have generous support from the Velferdstinget and Sit Bolig (including the facilities and van).

You’re called NTNU ReStore- is this only open for NTNU students?
All students in Trondheim are welcome, whether you’re from NTNU, BI, HiST, or DMMH. PhD students, you’re students too!

I need this table, but it has a bunch of stuff on it. Can I move the stuff and take the table?
Talk to our volunteers (in the super-fly ReStore gear) and we’ll figure something out with you.

GIVING

What sort of things do you take?
We’ll take your household goods (big and small) that you think a student would be happy to have! Hangers, laundry racks, kitchen equipment, and desk lamps are especially popular items.

When can I drop off my stuff?
Check our Facebook page for updated information. Due to COVID, we have changed how we receive donations at ReStore. Now you can drop off at anytime, contact free, on the back porch of the kindergarten. Simply take a photo of your donation when you drop it off and send us in a message with date and time. Our volunteers will bring it inside after 72 hours.

I’m moving out today/tomorrow/right now, can you come pick up my stuff?
No, we do not offer pick ups of stuff.

Can I donate my bed/mattress?
Unfortunately not. Due to bedbug concerns we are unable to accept beds, mattresses, bed linens, or bed pillows.
