A brief description of the program:

Excess furniture is stored and reused where appropriate. The Resource Conservation Team runs a Free Store, which collects and offers surplus items. The Recycled Products Co-op, a student organization, has a mission to "provide affordable recycled office supplies to the Oberlin community at large, specifically Oberlin College students and other interested parties, thereby stimulating the larger market for recycled products manufacture and development, while at the same time creating a sustainable, at-cost product option for all economic classes of office supply users."
