Join SMU’s Property Exchange Listserv

You are invited to join SMU’s Property Exchange listserv. Due to the great success rolling out the Surplus Office Supplies listserv, the Repurposed Property Initiative Team, under the direction of the Office of Operational Excellence, will use the same format to exchange gently worn furniture and property. 

Faculty and staff who wish to have gently used SMU furniture for on-campus use may claim items for free on a first-come, first-served basis. The only charge involved is to have the furniture moved to the desired campus location.  The Property Exchange listserv is designed to match up available surplus furniture with campus employees who need it and to save departments on purchases.

Sign up for the Property Exchange listserv today!

To join, email:  join-propertyexchange@list.smu.edu

You’ll receive three emails:

  1. When you send the join email, you’ll receive an email telling you that the membership is pending approval.
  2. Then you’ll receive a welcome notice with instructions on posting items.
  3. Finally an automated message from lyris will arrive, telling you that you’re approved.

We hope you will utilize this listserv whenever you have office furniture needs and encourage your colleagues to use it as well.  Our goal is to help save the University money and at the same time be environmentally conscious.

Sign Up For Office Supply Listserv

You are invited to participate in SMU’s new Surplus Office Supply listserv.

The Repurposed Property Initiative Team, under the direction of the Office of Operational Excellence, has announced their first two recommendations, including a voluntary listserv where participants receive email notices of available surplus office supplies in new or gently used condition.  Listserv participants who wish to have the items being offered for on campus use may claim them on a first-come, first serve basis for no charge.  The office supply exchange listserv is designed to match up SMU employees on campus with supply needs with those who have extra, and to save departments on purchases.  As you clean out your supply closets and storage areas, we invite you to use this tool to find new homes for your unwanted materials and/or claim other supplies you need for your work on campus.
