Does the institution have a surplus department or formal office supplies exchange program that facilitates reuse of materials?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

KU Surplus provides removal service for reusable furniture and office equipment on the University of Kansas (Lawrence campus) free of charge in accordance with the KU Surplus Property Recycling Procedure. By working with campus departments and local non-profits we are able to redistribute surplus that would otherwise be discarded.

In addition, the KU Center for Sustainability organized the first annual office supply swap held April 19, 2011, to redistribute office supplies that weren't being used. The program has continued to help redistribute campus mail envelopes.
