Second Hand Days at Metropolia Campuses on 28.9.–2.10.2026

Published: 01.09.2026

Let's recycle together - Second Hand Days are coming!

Mark the event days in your calendar and come by to hunt for second-hand treasures or to give away items you no longer use. The event follows a bring-and-take principle, meaning you can bring your own unused items to be reused or find something new for yourself—no money involved. The Second hand Day event is for all Metropolia employees and students.

The event is organized in collaboration with students from Live Vocational College, and it will tour all campuses during the week.
