How do we dispose of surplus equipment?
The first step is the completion of the Property Disposal Request form and the return of the form to the Property Office. Following this, the Property Office inspects the equipment and places a work order for the item(s) to be moved to the depot for resale, to be recycled, or to the landfill if the top two criteria can not be met.
In case your department has E-Waste, a Property Disposal Request form needs to be send to the Property Office. A property technician will then contact and advise you on the appropriate disposal method. The Property Office will turn in a request to RMMC for pickup. RMMC does not accept requests for E-Waste pickup from anyone except the Property Office.
How do we purchase equipment from other departments or the property office?
Departments can purchase surplus directly from other departments using an IDR form. Equipment located at the surplus depot can also be purchased with an IDR form during our monthly sales or by appointment.
How do we transport our surplus property?
The movers can transport surplus to the depot or the landfill if this is desired. Only if the Property Office places the work order, it will be free of charge to the department. Departments can also move equipment to the depot by themselves, if an appointment with a property tech is made.
In case your department needs to remove E-Waste, a Property Disposal Request Form needs to be sent to the Property Office. A property technician will then contact and advise you on the appropriate disposal method.
Can I advertise/sell/dispose surplus equipment myself without notifying property?
No - If you have surplus items you want to advertise on the Internet listserv or dispose/sell otherwise, please call the property office at 6-6619. The Property Office will screen the items. This will ensure that the University continues to meet state and federal guidelines regulating property disposal and transfers.
When can the public purchase surplus equipment?
After surplus equipment has been held for departmental purchase for at least two weeks, it will become available to the public, unless it is reserved for departmental sale only. All sales are advertised on the Property homepage. Equipment advertised for a previous sale can be paid for and picked up by appointment. Cash and checks are accepted, all sales are taxable unless the purchaser provides the appropriate tax-exempt forms/letters at the time of the sale. All sales are advertised "as is, where is, and without any warranties" and All Sales Are Final.
