Upcycle Your Princeton Pride
and be part of a greener, more spirited future.
What if your old Princeton t-shirt or sweatshirt could tell a new story?
Now it can!
We are proud to launch the Princeton Retail Upcycle Donation Program,
a new initiative to transform gently-used Princeton-branded apparel
into unique, sustainable creations.
How It Works:
• Bring your clean, lightly-worn Princeton-branded clothing, bags or soft fabric items to our donation bins.

• The new upcycled items will be available for purchase at Princeton University Retail locations next year — combining sustainability, creativity, and tradition.
Acceptable Items:
Clean Princeton-branded t-shirts, jackets, jerseys,tote bags – think soft, sweatshirts, fleece, fabric.
Unacceptable Items:
Stained, ripped, or non-Princeton items.
Nothing hard or non-fabric.
