Surplus

Next auction: March 16, 2024.

Public auctions of surplus material take place at Facilities Management Warehouse #2. Viewing begins at 7am and auction starts at 8am.

Reuse of materials is even better than recycling. OSU Surplus has chairs, tables, desks, computers, research equipment and other electronic equipment, file cabinets, and much more! All of these items are available for use on campus and free to any state agency.

OSU employees can check out the Surplus warehouse on Thursdays from 1-3pm or by appointment (405-744-7648). Students are not permitted to check out surplus. If you are a student working for a department, you must be accompanied by a department representative, who will then sign for any items to be issued. Please be prepared to show your OSU ID, and provide departmental information for surplus issuance. In the event you will not be able to retrieve your items on the date of issuance, you may schedule a time and day to come pick them up or have a work order opened for FSS-Moves to deliver the items at a fee.

Surplus is located on Connell Avenue between Willis Street and Ridge Road. From Hall of Fame, go north on Willis, turn left before McElroy and there will be a series of metal warehouses on the right. Surplus items are located in “Facilities Management Warehouse #2.”

In the event of inclement weather the Surplus Auction will be rescheduled for a later date.
