Carleton University’s Curb showcase is the university’s surplus sales program where Carleton-owned goods that may no longer have any useful value to the department can be resold to other departments on campus or external parties. Items sold on the Curb have included electronics, office furniture/supplies, scientific equipment, and more! In 2023, twenty departments sold or donated a total of 169 items, preventing them from ending up in landfills and generating $13,200 in sales.
To participate in buying or selling through the Curb showcase, individuals should visit our Curb Showcase webpage to submit a request. Once reviewed, items being sold will be posted on our website and individuals requesting to purchase items will be contacted by Procurement Services with more information.
According to the Equipment Inventory Policy, Department Heads have the discretion to sell items through the Curb showcase, transfer or donate them to another entity, or dispose of them in a safe and sustainable manner through appropriate channels.
