UW Surplus Public Store

The UW Surplus store is open to everyone on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We receive new items every day, so inventory is always changing. If you'd like to get a preview of new items, you can sign up for our newsletter. Come by to see what bargains are in stock this week!      About us: UW Surplus takes all unwanted items from 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 our retail store, online storefront, and timed auctions. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Plant Services Building (PSB).
