We’re pleased to announce our new online storefront, with select items available for public purchase. You buy online and we bring your item(s) curbside. It couldn’t be easier!

New items are posted to the online store the first and third Tuesday of every month at 8 a.m. Selections vary depending on what we have in stock. We do not hold or set aside items for public sale. Sign up for our email newsletter to get reminders, previews and information about upcoming sales.

Check out our website for more information about curbside pick-up, or go to the online store to browse what's available to buy now!

What is UW Surplus?

UW Surplus takes all unwanted items from all UW departments and medical facilities. Our goal is to reuse, repurpose or recycle as many items as possible by reselling them to UW departments, state agencies, nonprofit organizations and the general public. We play a part in helping to reduce the University’s climate impact by diverting usable items from the landfill into the hands of someone who will find use for them.

We sell everything from everyday items such as furniture, office supplies, computers, housewares, laboratory equipment, machinery, automobiles and athletic gear to more unusual items such as harpsichords, vessels and antique electronics. New items are added to inventory every day, so stock is constantly changing and priced to sell, saving you money!

Guess what? We also sell items via auction! Peruse our the current timed auction lots, or explore our live auctions page.
