When Michigan State University goes green, it goes to the MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center. Our goal is to keep the MSU community as green as possible by keeping our materials out of landfills – and we do that in a lot of ways.

RETHINKING REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE
The MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center is rethinking the way the MSU Community disposes of its unused materials – including our own take on REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE.
So just how do we do this? First we REUSE. We collect materials from the MSU community and look for ways to put them to use – either by making them available back to MSU (in lieu of purchasing new items) or display them for sale at our retail store or online.
When we find items that cannot be reused, we look to RECYCLE. All recycled materials go through our Materials Recycling Facility, where they are sorted and baled as appropriate. Some items, such as technology, require specialized handling, and we continually work with our vendors/partners to ensure all the byproducts of recycling are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
