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:

A reuse of office supply exchange or ROSE program operated by the recycling division offers used binders, file folders, staplers and other like office supplies to the university to reduce over purchasing of these items. It is frequented by staff and students alike and hundreds of pounds are diverted from land fills weekly. Excess binders are also donated to local schools for use by primary school students that might not otherwise afford them.
