About Us

The Surplus Equipment Department serves the university community in all matters relating to the handling of surplus items by establishing a standard procedure for the proper disposal of assets taking into consideration applicable laws and concerns regarding information security, hazardous waste, radiation safety, sponsored program contractual obligations, etc.

University organizational units are encouraged to reclaim assets from within the university wherever possible.  In addition to offering items to university organizational units at no cost, the Surplus Equipment Department provides outlets for the sale of surplus items to the general public via Sealed Bid Auctions and the Monthly Public Sale.

Visitors to the Surplus Equipment Department may enter the building through the Surplus Equipment Entrance in the center of the rear of the Campus Services Building.  The building is secure but a phone is located on the dock if needed.

These surplus items are not to be sold or given to individuals for their personal use.  

Organizational Unit viewing times are Tuesday mornings from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. No appointment is necessary.

Delivery is available for large items.
