Message from the Surplus Manager

At Surplus, our vision is to be the leading provider of sustainable and affordable surplus goods and services to the UC San Diego campus, community, and beyond.

Our work is important for clients we serve and offers an alternative to procuring brand new items. We help the community save money, while also reducing the environmental footprint of the university.
