How To Request Pick-Up of Surplus Items

For surplus items that don't have an inventory number (most furniture, office supplies, keyboards, and cables), send a fax to 512-471-8499 or 512-471-6722. You can also request pickup by e-mailing Dewayne Digby or Edward Mann.

If the item is tagged with an inventory number, request pickup online through the Capitalized and Controlled Asset Removal and Transfer (CCART) system.

If the item is a computer, you must erase the hard drive before pickup and note this under "Special Handling Required" in the CCART online system.

Media destruction service, including erasing hard drives, is offered free of charge on campus. In addition to protecting sensitive data, this service results in a completely recyclable series of byproducts. Contact the Media Destruction Service for details.

We collect things you aren't using anymore, such as furniture and computers, and find them a new home or dispose of them. We offer the following surplus property services:

Collection and storage of surplus furniture (desks, chairs, tables, etc.) and equipment (computers, laboratory equipment, etc.)
Delivery of surplus to departments upon request
Supply of chairs, tables, desk-top podiums and portable chalkboards for classroom use

Note: Do not throw broken property in the trash! Have Surplus Property pick it up instead.

Sending lab equipment to Surplus Property:

All vacuum pumps must be drained of oil before pickup; otherwise Surplus Property is not authorized to receive them. Certain lab equipment such as refrigerators (see section below), fume hoods, lab ovens or x-ray related equipment must be cleared before Surplus Property is authorized to receive it. To obtain clearance, fill out the Laboratory Equipment Decontamination Form( pdf). For further assistance, contact Rachel Lebansky at 512-471-2031.

Surplus Property will not pick up or receive refrigerated units (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, etc.) until the freon and oil have been removed. To have freon and oil removed from refrigerated equipemnt, submit a Service Request Form (SR10) or call your zone shop.
