Does the institution have a surplus department or formal office supplies exchange program that facilitates reuse of materials?:
A brief description of the program:
NYU's Asset Management staff facilites the distribution of surplus materials. Through the completion of the Asset Surplus Form, Asset Management is able to inspect surplus goods, determine its recyclable value or designate it for disposal. Asset Management uses the information from the Asset Surplus Form to update its inventory database.
NYU departments facilitate disposal of designated items with FCM. Successfully relocated/donated used furniture and equipment from the last few years include computers, monitors, file cabinets, desks, tables, chairs, printers, bookcases, TVs, couches, lamps, fax machines, stools and excersise machines.
The Sustainability Advocate Program email list is also venue for employees to exchange goods not picked up by Asset Management (such as office supplies).
