Disposal and Sale of Surplus Equipment   The University’s Office of Waste Management (OWM) is responsible for the collection and disposal of unwanted furniture and equipment that has a value of less that $100.00 or scrap/junk equipment of any value. Equipment with a value of greater than $100.00 can be transferred to another University department or sold by a Public Bid through the Procurement Department. See instructions below for each type of equipment and furniture.       1. Disposal of Equipment or Furniture valued at less than $100.00: Please use the Office of Waste Management (OWM) Surplus Equipment Disposal Policy and Form found at: http://www.umass.edu/recycle/surplusproperty.shtml .
