George Fox Surplus
George Fox University has a program for managing and controlling its physical inventory. Our mission is to efficiently and effectively facilitate the pick-up, processing, and disposal or sale of surplus equipment generated by the university.
We work hand in hand with our community to efficiently remove surplus equipment from campus buildings. By finding reuse and recycling markets for surplus property, we’re acting as responsible environmental stewards and as partners in sustainability.

To recycle or dispose of unneeded surplus university property, email your Building Monitor or Building Alternate to have them submit a work request to have the item removed.
