Does the institution have a surplus department or formal office supplies exchange program that facilitates reuse of materials?:
A brief description of the program:
R.O.S.E. is an acronym for the Reusable Office Supply Exchange program. R.O.S.E. staff members actively solicit the donations of reusable office and school supplies from the campus community of students, faculty, and staff. Donated materials are organized and stored at the R.O.S.E. Storehouse at Warren House 53. Every school day, from 8 AM to 5 PM, the Storehouse is open for the campus community to take these supplies free of charge. R.O.S.E. not only negates the need to produce unnecessary products that create a waste stream of their own, but also helps students save money. On average, R.O.S.E. distributes $8,000 worth of office supplies a semester.
Additionally the campus has a store house for additional office furniture and equipment for reuse on campus. Occasionally, the campus holds public auctions of this and other surplus property including vehicles, furniture, electronics and construction supplies. Auctions are made public through the university announcements and local newspapers.
