Sustainable Surplus celebrated its 4th year with a
Birthday BYOB. The famous Bring Your Own Box event invites teachers and
nonprofit staff to come to the warehouse with an empty box and fill it with
FREE office supplies.
More than 50 of
our constituents attended, singing “Happy Birthday” to staff and founder, Sue
Prelozni.
A good time was had by all. While teachers and nonprofits
came for FREE items, they also bought oodles of furniture and computers.
The event was sponsored by RMG Recycling. According to CEO Armen Derderian, "RMG
supports Sustainable Surplus because we believe in their cause. They fill a vital void in the marketplace by
finding a use through a well-established network of end users for quality
products that aren't ready for or easily recycled"
Sustainable Surplus has repurposed valuable assets to over 400 local schools, nonprofits and start-ups. As a result, SSE diverted
400,000 pounds of solid waste from the landfill. Close to 200 companies have engaged in SSE's program, donating $1.7 million of assets.
Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. See the link below for more info.
