UW Surplus takes all unwanted items from all UW departments and medical facilities. Our objective is to reuse, repurpose, or recycle as many items as possible to lessen the University’s climate impact on both purchasing and disposal. Items are resold through a retail store and online auctions. GENERAL PUBLIC The UW Surplus store is open to the public for in-person shopping every Tuesday. Items are available through purchase or auction online. For more info, please visit our website. PRIORITY GROUPS UW departments, nonprofit organizations and government agencies shopping on behalf of their organizations may visit in person by appointment only.
