Consider Institute Surplus
Whenever we choose to recycle, we make a conscious effort to maximize resource use, minimize the volume
of our waste stream and ultimately reduce overall costs to the University. Utilizing surplus property on
campus is another great opportunity to help the University to reduce its carbon footprint.
The RIT Surplus Property Program is designed to provide a cost effective, timely and efficient process to
reallocate resources within RIT, and for disposing of unneeded goods at the highest practical rate of return to
departments and RIT. Disposition of RIT's surplus property is the responsibility of the Procurement Services
Office (PSO) through the administration of the Surplus Property procedure. The property disposition
procedure applies to all University departments.
As you reconfigure your office or workspace, make sure to forward your usable original furniture back to
Building 99 so that it can enter the Surplus inventory rather than adding to the University waste stream.
PSO routinely handles a variety of different commonly used office staples
including:
•
•
•
•
•
Single and double pedestal desks
Task, desk and side chairs
Vertical and lateral file cabinets (2,3,4 and 5 drawers)
Bookcases
Tables
These items are available for viewing in the warehouse space of Building 99
(Facilities Management Services) during regular working hours Monday through
Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
A new 4-drawer file
cabinet can retail for
upwards of $923.
A gently used 4-drawer
of the same quality can
be purchased from
Surplus Property for $20.
This purchase will also
keep approximately 100
pounds out of University
waste stream.
