Banal Administrative Question

[Larry Storey]

Folks,

I've inherited a fleet of aging computer equipment, some that works and some
that doesn't. Does anyone know what I need to do regarding disposal of the items
that no longer function as well as what options I have to surplus the equipment
that does work? I've been looking for a website with forms and blah blah blah
but this has me stumped so far.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Larry - the property disposal form is at:
http://process.umn.edu/groups/ppd/documents/form/propertydisposal.pdf

University Computing Services will pick up used computer equipment and
dispose of it for free.
http://www1.umn.edu/ucs/pickup.htm

If you want to sell anything - I'm not sure how you do that anymore.

Como Recycling/Reuse Center will take everything. They will junk what
doesn't work, well probably sell it to recovery outfits, as well a keep
and try to redistribute what works to depts or sell it to the public.

Fm uses the Reuse/Recycling program

I think there is one other place at the U that takes
old computers but I'm not sure if they take non-working
machines.

For stuff with asset tags:

Ask your administrative support person for an Inventory Services "property
disposal" form. Fill it out and send it to inventory services. Once it's
approved you can dispose of the equipment. Como yard will take it. UCS
will take it (they resell what they can to the public). Sell it to the
public yourself (on Ebay for example). Give it to a needier department.
Etc, etc.

For stuff without asset tags:

As above but skip the three part form.

Thanks for all the replies.

Now I've just got to sort through the museum vaults and decide what goes and

As Larry Storey once put it so eloquently:

If you have "interesting" older hardware, you might want to let this
list know, as I think we have a number of collectors on here...

Just don't let my wife know that you're letting me know.
