Surplus policy and process

  1. Read the university surplus policy.
  2. If items are for the landfill (unrepairable, unsaleable, and unrecyclable):
    • Discard smaller, non-working items in the Department of Chemistry's large trash dumpster located near the ground floor receiving dock.
    • Larger, non-working items may be picked up by Facilities Management; contact Rachel at rachel-franke@uiowa.edu, to issue a Facilities Maintenance Requistion.
  3. If items are for surplus:
    1. Email Rachel (rachel-franke@uiowa.edu) a list of surplus items.
      • Be descriptive listing each item, current quality of item, and the amount it was purchased for.
      • Items that sell for over $300, will need a MFK to reimburse funds.
    2. Bring items to ground floor loading area. Larger items may be kept in your area and picked up directly from UI Surplus.
