The process
The basics OPERATIONS MANUAL The UI Operations Manual states that all University-owned items must be disposed of by University of Iowa Surplus. more information.... REIMBURSEMENT Departments receive reimbursement for items selling for more than $100. Sales-related expenses are deducted from the selling price. more information.... SURPLUS or LANDFILL Send to Surplus items that are resaleable or recyclable. Resaleable items should be intact and in working condition; broken or unuseable items that contain materials such as glass, metals, plastics, wood, or paper may be recyclable. Send to the landfill items that are unrepairable, unsaleable, and unrecyclable. Facilities Management will deliver these items to the landfill. A requisition is required. Do not send items containing hazardous materials to the landfill. more information.... SAFETY Safety is paramount when disposing of items containing hazardous materials. Surplus will handle such items as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, appliances, computers, monitors, televisions, and other electronics. It does not handle equipment that contains biologically contaminated, chemical, or radioactive waste. Examples are adhesives, batteries, biohazards, blood pressure cuffs, chemicals, film, oils, paint, solvents, thermometers, thermostats, and x-ray equipment. more information.... SECURITY Store all items in a secure location while awaiting pick-up by Surplus. Departments must remove all sensitive information from furnishings such as file cabinets and desks, as well as electronic media. Any department may utilize the University's contract for document destruction. more information.... FORMS Complete a removal form for items to be
sent to Surplus. Non-hospital departments send the forms to Property Management for processing.
Hospital departments send them to either Housekeeping, Health Care Information Systems, or the
Facilities Services Housekeeping Department.
