The University of Salford has joined 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.
