The University of Salford has a subscription with WARP-it (Waste Action Reuse Portal), a redistribution network, which works in a similar way to Ebay or Freecycle but for organisations rather than individuals. WARP-it makes it easy for departments to give away, loan or claim items unwanted by others within the organisation and beyond. The scheme encourages reuse, saves money and carbon.
Items which can currently be reused include furniture, stationery and unused printer cartridges. It is not possible at present to offer electrical items and items cannot be claimed for personal use (unless to support working from home).
Internal reuse is prioritised then reuse within the local community before final disposal. Please note we have limited storage available so please list items as soon as possible to give the maximum opportunity for reuse. If you have any contacts with local charities/community organisations please share the site details or pass on to the Environmental Sustainability Team.
