How To Dispose Of Equipment & Supplies
Although the Bargain Barn will work with
Equipment Management to ensure that an item can be sold or otherwise disposed of, you can expedite the process by following the steps below and reviewing policy
350-80 which governs the disposition of excess/surplus property.
Check the Type of Acquisition
How was the item acquired by the department? If it was loaned to the department from an outside agency or government entity, it will most likely need to be returned to the lending party. The original paperwork should be reviewed as appropriate.
Check the Funding Source
Before disposing of any items, always confirm the funding source. There may be restrictions on the disposal of equipment acquired with extramural/government funds. Check the original agreement paperwork for the contract or grant; disposal instructions are often stipulated there. If in doubt, check with
Extramural Funds Accounting or
Equipment Management.
Review the Information on the Purchasing Web Site
The
Purchasing Web site provides additional information that can assist in the proper disposal of equipment and supplies.
