Duke Surplus Key Plans – Part 1

Using surplus materials help in many ways like saving our environment, spending budget economically and wisely on quality products. More and more organizations engage in the use of surplus materials, and the donation of secondhand furniture to non profit institutions. This kind of undertaking has helped a lot in our community, whether you’re a profit or non profit group.

Duke University ,a private research university located in Durham , North Carolina which sells surplus equipment, will venture into donating usable furniture beginning July 1, 2007. This new program aims to donate surplus Duke equipment to non profit institutions and not only will they cover local areas but they plan to go global as well. Other items they will donate include computers, medical and research equipment and other property materials.

Duke has been in the business of selling surplus furniture for ten years now. Yet they chose to introduce this new program which will supervise the donation of surplus material to the community. Currently, coordinators are getting in touch with interested parties and giving them information on how to go about sending their old office furniture and other equipment.

As of today, Duke has already donated above 2,000 computers to Durham Public Schools and other non profit organizations through the Duke Computer Exchange Program. This program is geared to the majority of the community. They can participate online by entering information about the item for donation and details on the pick up of the materials. This is a more efficient way of going about the whole process. Everything will be donated and not sold.

The computer exchange project will continue to run under the new surplus program while the collection and donation of office furniture and other surplus property to the designated non profit groups, schools and small universities is being managed.
