Unfortunately, no.  All items, no matter how big or small, require Property Management approval before bringing items to Surplus Property.  We don’t control the assets, we are the release point for them.

Online EACR

An item with a CSU Decal # on it is known as a Capital Asset and will need to be transferred to Surplus Property using the Kuali Capital Asset Manager (CAM).

Surplus Property makes a concerted effort to find new homes for all of the University’s surplus property.  Sometimes the University disposes of items that no longer have a redeemable market value. Many of these items present a potential danger to people and our surrounding environment, and therefore must be handled and disposed of in a responsible and ethical manner. Certain items have special handling, recycling, or disposal requirements. Fees will be assessed to the department for disposition of these items.

See our Service Fees for detailed pricing information.

Surplus Property reallocates funds back to departments on wide variety of items.  In many cases, if your item isn’t electronic, doesn’t have any disposal fees associated with it, and is in sellable condition, your department is likely to receive a portion of the money received during the sale of the item.

Visit our Operating Procedures page for more information on how this is allocated.

Employees may purchase their mobile phones when they leave the University under certain conditions.

• The department that owns the phone must approve of the purchase and submit a request to Surplus Property have the phone priced.
• If the employee agrees to the price, the owning department will need to do two things:
  • Enter an Online EACR and obtain Property Management and departmental approval.
  • Contact WirelessWatchdogs to release assignment of the phone.
• Once the Online EACR has been approved, the employee may contact Surplus Property to purchase the phone.  This can be done over the phone and the device does not need to be returned to Surplus Property.

An employee can purchase equipment when departing the University under certain circumstances.

The process:

• The department owning the equipment will need to submit an Online EACR and obtain Property Management and departmental approval.
• The item will need to be evaluated by Surplus Property to have a price determined.  
• If it is a computer, the device will need to be brought to Surplus Property to have the hard-drive wiped of all data.  PLEASE NOTE:  We do NOT re-install operating systems on computers.  That will be the responsibility of the new owner.  We do not ship devices.
• Once wiped, the employee may then pay for the device at Surplus Property.
