RePo is a material reuse program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Yes it takes an entire sentence to say where it is located, however this fine institution made this student operated program possible. I am a co-founder of RePo or The Reusable Materials Depot and am proud to say it works! We distributed almost 2 tons of material in the first two months of operation. Students bring things they no longer need, and others browse for stuff they want. In addition, RePo employees investigate sources of reusable materials such as professors with garages that need to be picked over, or regional industry that produces scrap materials that could be used by students.
This soon to be heated addition will be the home of RePo employees during the frigid winter months. We will serve Hot Chocolate as an incentive for people to shop for free stuff. RePo opens at 11, right after the Moka Joka (a student operated coffee shop) closes, so we decided the space will be called the Chocolate Cocoa hut.
