Overview

SF Surplus allows college departments to reuse surplus property that is no longer needed by the original owner. Additionally, SF Surplus donates classroom furniture to Alachua and Bradford County schools; resells items not claimed for reuse in public surplus sales; and recycles end-of-life items that cannot be utilized within the college or repurposed to another entity. 

Note: Surplus property may also be available through the Federal Property Assistance Program.

Surplus Swap

Each department's Property Designee has access to the SF Surplus Swap. This pilot program allows departments to list small items they no longer need as well as claim any items they might want. Surplus Swap should be used for items that can't be stored in the open-air conditions of the Surplus Area, such as:

  • Office supplies including paper, folders, binders, etc.
  • Small office items such as desk organizers, file sorters, hole punches, staplers, etc.
  • Any appliances, electronics, or similar items that would be damaged by outdoor storage
