Furniture Repurposing and Replacement
Always mindful of budgets, Facilities staff will fix and refurbish broken or out-of-date furniture, and—if the furniture meets the department’s high furniture standards—the piece will be reissued to a site. Repurposing furniture also keeps items out of the waste stream and avoids disposal costs. SPPS also saves money by salvaging tin from broken furniture.
FURNITURE REPURPOSING AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
- The warehouse will be checked to see if there are any existing replacements that can be repurposed.
- If there is a repurposed piece, you will be notified with details on the piece and moving the furniture to your site.
- If there is NOT a repurposed piece available you will be given the opportunity to purchase new furniture.
- Once the new furniture is selected and details sent, you will receive a quote with the price of the furniture.
- It is your responsibility to secure funds for the new furniture from the principal or department lead at your site.
- Once funds are secured, please fill out a New Furniture Purchasing Form so your order can be completed and delivery details can be determined.
