Does the institution have a surplus department or formal office supplies exchange program that facilitates reuse of materials?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
PLU runs a surplus store that collects and redistributes anything that can be used again. Items can be sold or given away to other departments, staff/faculty/students. The store also holds biweekly public sales, and items that were not reused by the community members are then available to the public for use. If items have been sitting in the warehouse for a long time, are broken down into their recyclable parts (becoming a more common trend with items that are no longer considered “stylish”).
Example: Food storage shelves installed in dining services came from another campus department that had no use for them anymore. Dining services saved a large amount of money this way.
