Did you know that instead of throwing unwanted office supplies away, UVA has an established process to reuse them?

The Reusable Office Supply Exchange (ROSE) Program is a free service that collects new or gently used office supplies from departments throughout UVA and UVA Health to redistribute to departments and the community to pick up.
