10. Donate unneeded, unused supplies
Putting obsolete, basement-dwelling durable medical equipment
and unused, expired supplies into the hands of healthcare providers
via third-party organizations for beneficial reuse engages facilities in
global health. Rather than disposing of unneeded items through the
waste stream, many facilities explore options for reuse through sur-
plus resale or charitable donations to organizations in the community
or developing countries in need. See osmag.net/aRvR3S for more about
donating equipment and supplies. OSM
