The Surplus Store’s Role
The CU Surplus Store is a key part of the campus’ engine for circularity. By acting as the first choice for campus academic and operational departments and students alike, we ensure that products don't just get tossed into the landfill or broken down into raw materials (recycling), but stay in their most useful form (reuse).
Every time you buy a refurbished monitor or a used office chair from us, you are helping the university meet its aggressive zero-waste and climate action goals. You’re saving the energy, water, and carbon emissions required to manufacture something new.
Pro Tip: Before you think about ordering from a big-box website, check the Surplus Store first. Circularity starts with choosing what’s already here.
