The SurPLUs Store

What is SurPLUs?

The Surplus Store is an initiative of PLU’s Sustainability department designed to promote efficiency through the reuse of functional equipment & furniture. The Surplus Store serves as a sustainable outlet redirecting items through PLU’s recycling program and making them available for reuse on campus and in local the community.

What’s there?

Surplus shoppers find well functioning articles ranging from books, binders & office supplies to chairs, large desks, tables and even couches. Since reuse is the priority, prices are highly affordable and bulk items such as chairs are frequently donated to local non-profits. See below for a more detailed list of items currently in stock.
