Time for another Staff Spotlight! This week features Steve Schofield.
Who: Steve Schofield, Surplus/Warehouse Coordinator for Surplus for the last 4 and a half years.
What he does here:
I coordinate the influx of surplus on campus and maintain the warehouse space.
One fave thing about his job:
The variety in the work I do as well as knowing I’m giving things another life by keeping them out of the landfill.
If he could improve something about waste reduction at OSU:
I’d want to reduce the “use it or lose it” mentality of the departments on campus when it comes to their budget. I also hope to see an increase in re-configurable/modular furniture that lasts a long time so that departments don’t need to buy new as often.
This post is part of the”Recycling/Surplus Staff Spotlight” blog series, which showcases staff from Campus Recycling and Surplus Property and will run regularly during the summer. Tune in throughout the summer for more.
