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:
A Surplus Property program was established at Wake Forest University in the summer of 2011. A new surplus storage facility, and a Surplus Coordinator position were established staff to handle moves and relocation procedures. Previously, a purchasing representative managed all WFU surplus furniture.
The main goal of surplus is to relocate furniture that is no longer needed to another useful place on campus. If this is not possible, the furniture is donated to a local agency. This diverts waste from the landfill and also creates an incentive for departments to re-use items while reducing the need for departments to buy new. In 2011, the surplus property program diverted over 65 tons from the landfill (an increase from 27 tons diverted from the landfill in 2010-before an official Surplus Property program was established).
