School/Office Supplies - Working

School and office supplies are small tools, electronics, equipment, and writing instruments found in an office or school.

Consider donation or posting online for reuse.
Broken supplies beyond repair may go in landfill if they are not electronic, contain a battery, or contain other hazardous waste.
