Surplus Property

Surplus Property consists of university-owned items that are no longer needed by a department, including vehicles, computers, furniture, and office equipment. Prior to removing or disposing of any property, a survey request form must be completed and sent to the Property Office (562-985-4889) for processing.

Once you receive notification that the survey has been approved, you may contact Facilities Management for a work order form to request property removal. Do not leave property in hallways, stairwells, or outside of buildings. Abandoning equipment in this manner is a violation of campus policy and can create safety hazards.

Where Does It Go?

The type and condition of surveyed equipment determines whether the items are reused or recycled. Several options exist, including: making property available to other departments on campus, donating items to local non-profit agencies and schools, sending equipment to a public auction under contract with the university, posting items on the esurplusauction web site, and dismantling property into separate components for recycling.
