Purdue University's surplus operation has been in existence since the mid-1960s. It started out with a one-day auction held in July of each year until 1968, when it was relocated to the N. Ninth St. warehouses, which allowed the University to hold auctions more often. Over time, the auctions were phased out and the Surplus Store opened. In the spring of 2004, the Surplus Store relocated to the INOK building, where it remained for the next 12 years. In October of 2015, the Surplus Store finally moved to a campus location in the MMDC building, where we receive good used surplus from the West Lafayette campus as well as regional campuses every day, enabling the Surplus Store to help reduce the amount of general waste sent to local landfills. By diverting hundreds of University surplus furnishings and equipment to the Surplus Store sales floor, last year, we sold over 1,266,740 pounds of desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and other end-of use items that otherwise may have ended up in the landfill. To this end, the Surplus Store's digital catalog is in direct alignment with the University's sustainability directive, and will facilitate the Surplus Store's ongoing efforts to reach a broader scope of customers, as well as highlight some of our more unique inventory. In person and auctions on our GovDeals.com page remain additional shopping options. |
