Getting here: The MSU Surplus Store & Recycling Center is located on the south end of campus, off of Farm Lane, south of Trowbridge Rd. and Service Rd., at 468 Green Way. CATA bus 32 stops out front on Farm Lane. Parking in our lot is free while attending events or shopping at the Surplus Store, which is open on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It's about a 25 minute walk from the Union. We also have bike racks and scooter parking.
Student Upcycle Fridays
Select Fridays from 12 - 4 p.m. @ Surplus & Recycling, in the Education Center
Drop in to make something with repurposed materials. Guided projects are offered (with instructions as needed), though upcyclers have creative freedom to put their own spin on the crafts. No experience is necessary, we're happy to help you through the steps, introduce you to new techniques or tools, and offer suggestions for how to bring your ideas to fruition. Supplies provided. Free. All MSU students welcome. Student Upcycle Fridays are at Surplus & Recycling in the Education Center (look for the signs). Project sneak peaks and pictures from events are shared @spartanupcycle
Upcycle Skillup with MSU Bikes: Learn to fix a flat and upcycle a popped bike tube
January (time & date TBA) @ Surplus & Recycling, in the Education Center
No one likes getting a flat tire. Many bikers don't know that they can save cash and do the environment a favor by patching the tube inside their tire instead of buying new. Come get free hands-on experience patching a punctured tube provided by MSU Bikes and/or make your very own upcycled tube pencil pouch.
