Office supplies reuse: a council program

The problem. Unused pens, folders and stationery sit in cupboards while schools and groups go without. Who it helps. A council or library team hosting it, helping people who run or work in small offices, workspaces and event teams. What you start with. Unused office supplies in cupboards and storerooms. What is delivered. Supplies are collected, sorted and passed on to local schools, groups and makers. A community officer hosts it with local partners and follows progress. How progress is known. Supply lots collected and passed on are counted. A short summary is shared with the council, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Items must be clean, in good order and offered with the donor's agreement. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record.
