Located in Old Main 15, the Sustainability Office’s Office Suite is a room dedicated to giving a second life to gently used office supplies that are no longer needed by departments, individual faculty/staff, or students. Donate office supplies by e-mailing sustainability@wartburg.edu. Pick up items for free by stopping by REUSE(D) during office hours.

Each year, unwanted office supplies are donated to local thrift stores, recycled, or thrown away. REUSE(D) is the Sustainability Office’s effort to keep gently used office supplies in the Wartburg Community. The room is open to students, faculty, and staff. Wartburg community members can use the room free of charge.
