Record Breaking BYOB!

Our August back to school BYOB (Bring Your Own Box) event was a huge hit! About 165 teachers and non-profit staff members showed up and filled a box with FREE supplies, with a second box costing only $5.
Did you know that public school teachers typically spend hundreds- even thousands- of dollars of their own money on classroom supplies?

"The BYOB was very well organized and we got many great supplies for our teachers for the start of the school year," said Wiebke Elbe, Principal at German Pacific School. "Since we are just setting up a children's library it was very helpful for us to get things like a cash box and book ends."

So where does all this stuff come from?
Our mission at Sustainable Surplus is to "Turn Corporate Excess into Community Assets." The items we receive are donations from local companies who are moving, downsizing or just de-cluttering and want to see their excess items go to a good cause and not to the landfill. Thanks to their generosity, our August BYOB event repurposed thousands of dollars of supplies, while keeping hundreds of pounds of waste from the landfill.
