Trash to Treasure Pilot Program: Office Supply Reuse Program

• The Trash to Treasure pilot program serves as a platform for McMaster staff and faculty to exchange university-owned goods between campus departments and university-sanctioned clubs in order to foster community, promote financial responsibility, and support recycling and ‘upcycling’ efforts on campus. McMaster staff and faculty are encouraged to support their students and student clubs in accessing this platform.
• This student-led program, with support from Facility Services, UTS, and the Office of Sustainability, aims to streamline the process of office supply redistribution on campus by making it easy for participants to post or view listed items via a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel.
