Portland State University
Tier2-1: Materials Exchange

PSU ReUse Room Location: Cramer Hall Rm. 180 Hours: 10:00-2:00 Monday thru Thursday PSU Recycles! collects and redistributes gently used, surplus office supplies for free that would otherwise be recycled or thrown out. A few examples of reusable materials are: * 1/2" to 2" Binders * File Folders * Pens/Pencils * Desktop File Organizers * Staplers/staples * Paper clips * Paper ReUse is an essential component of managing waste. Here's why: * As we consume fewer new materials, we minimize our impact on the Earth's limited natural resources. * Finding a second use for materials reduces the trash volume. Ultimately, this saves money through lower trash-hauling fees. * Student groups, faculty, and staff save money by reusing supplies rather than buying them new. The PSU ReUse Room is run by volunteers from the university to help manage waste throughout campus. The ReUse room is dependent on volunteers and donations to help make this campus a more sustainable environment ~~~~~ Surplus Department Captures surplus furniture but is only available to departments, not students. Some things are sold on Craigslist and/or sent to Corvallis, which has the central warehousing for Oregon universities.
