Open to UW community and public
All unwanted items purchased with UW funds must go to Surplus. The UW Surplus Store is in the Plant Services Building, across from University Village. Surplus aims to reuse, repurpose, or recycle as many items as possible.
UW Surplus sells a variety of products they receive at a reduced price. Items include office supplies, furniture, décor, UW Athletics gear, vehicles, and more!
UW Departments, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies can shop at the store on behalf of their organization at various times throughout the week. The Surplus store is open to the public on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They also have an online storefront where they post items customers can purchase and pick up.
Surplus offers live, timed auctions through GovDeals.com for large or unique items. Auctioned items may include vehicles, hard drives, air compressors, water vessels, DNA sequencers, 3D printers, and more. UW Recycling always recommends checking Surplus before buying new!
