General Surplus Reminder

[Business Affairs Office News]

Good afternoon,
The Business Affairs Office (BAO) Property Control Department would like to remind University of Oregon (UO) personnel of their responsibilities concerning surplus property. Surplus property is defined as all UO property including lost, mislaid, abandoned, worn-out, obsolete, otherwise not suitable for its intended use, or excess to the institution's needs. The disposal, sale, or donation of surplus property must be coordinated through the BAO Property Control Department. UO department personnel are not authorized to sell, give away or take UO property for personal use, surplus or otherwise.
The BAO Property Control Department can assist your department with the different methods of disposal which may include:

*         Redistribution to campus by posting to the surplus website at surplus.uoregon.edu<https://surplus.uoregon.edu/> for a minimum of one week for usable items

*         Donation to a non-profit organization

*         Sale via consignment, online, or auction

*         E-waste recycling (complete the online Property Disposition Request<https://forms.uoregon.edu/>)



Other campus recycling services include:

*         The Campus Zero Waste Program operates the Reusable Office Supply Exchange (R.O.S.E.)<http://recycle.uoregon.edu/rose.htm> located in 182 PLC. For information about obtaining or recycling office supplies or recycling other miscellaneous materials, please call 6-0961 or visit recycle.uoregon.edu<http://recycle.uoregon.edu/>.

*         Campus Operations operates the Surplus Furniture Warehouse located in the Romania building. For information about obtaining or recycling used furniture, please call 6-2319 or visit campusops.uoregon.edu<https://campusops.uoregon.edu/>.


Under certain conditions, ownership of equipment purchased with sponsored funds may not reside with the UO. The sponsor may require the equipment to be returned or disposed of in accordance with their policies or the contract's terms and conditions. To ensure compliance with this policy:

*         Sponsored Project Services approval must be obtained prior to disposal

*         All disposals must be coordinated through the BAO Property Control Department
Thank you,
BAO Property Control Department
