Are you looking to spruce up your office with some new\nfurniture or decorations? Are you a new employee who just moved to the area and\nis looking for items to furnish your new house or apartment? Or are you helping\nyour college student get ready to move back to campus and in need of some dorm\nor apartment d\u00e9cor?  The MSU Surplus\nStore is your one-stop-shop. The Surplus Store has all your needs from office furniture,\nhome furniture, electronics, textbooks, bikes to MSU gear. Wondering how the\nSurplus Store works?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Surplus Store receives most of its items from the university when items are no longer needed; Surplus Store team members go out and collect items from the residential halls, offices, and lounge areas. The Surplus Store is connecting surplus operations with recycling operations on campus. They take multiple steps before throwing an item out. The first step is to try to resell the item or give it away; if it can\u2019t be sold or given away, then they will recycle it. If the item does not sell or can\u2019t be recycled, then it will eventually go to landfill. However, the long-term goal is to help the university get to a zero-waste policy with these actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
