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:

Emory’s Surplus Property, a department of the Campus Services Division, provides the resale, liquidation, salvage or disposal of University-owned surplus furniture, equipment and vehicles. When an Emory department is no longer able to use furniture, equipment or vehicles due to the physical condition, lack of technological capability or inefficiency of operation, Surplus Property can sell the item(s) to another Emory department, to Emory faculty, staff or students, liquidate the item(s), or salvage the item(s).

In addition to Emory Surplus, Emory also participates in an office exchange program called Encore. This experimental program is designed to facilitate and encourage campus event planners to reuse, share, and repurpose event supplies. Too many floral arrangements, packaged foods, rental items, etc. come and go without being used to their full potential. Encore provides an opportunity to offer these items for others to use, as well as to make use of these offerings yourself to reduce your event budgets. You can even post a wish list request for a future need.
