About Us

UVM Surplus is a function of the UVM Recycling & Waste Management program. Our mission is to keep quality furnishings out of the landfill through the sale of surplus furniture and other materials which are no longer useful to University departments. Items from University departments are stored at the Wheelock Barn in South Burlington prior to sale.

Instructions for University Departments

UVM Departments:  How to Request a Surplus Pickup -

Submit a Service Request on-line to have surplus items (e.g. furniture, computers, junk) picked up from your department or building.  Please do this by submitting a "Service Request" at the Physical Plant's  FAMIS SELF SERVE website. Go to  Submit a Service Request  for more information.   When we receive your request, the UVM Surplus/Recycling team will pick up your items and determine whether they are usable for resale, or whether recycling or disposal is required. Departments are charged a nominal hauling fee for pick up and/or disposal of old surplus items.

UVM Departments: How to Make a Purchase of Surplus with your Department Budget -

UVM departments can shop during our regular weekly sales hour.  Department must bring a "Chart String" budget number to pay for items.  Please use the Peoplesoft form to write your Chart String legibly!  Download the   Chart String Aid Template  here, fill it out, and bring it to the Wheelock Barn to make your purchase.
