How To

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, Edward Mann, or Joan Wade.

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.

Surplus Property

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

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, 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.
