14.5 Electronics Disposal Vendor

Surplus has an agency contract for the disposal of all electronic equipment. The contract requires that all disposals conform to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and that all data storage devices are destroyed in a way data is unrecoverable. Essentially, all electronics are de-manufactured (shredded) to their base components (plastic, metal, glass, etc.) that are then recycled. Use of the DOAS contract is mandatory.

Entities may choose to deliver their electronics to the supplier or have them picked up.

Under the current agreement, the supplier will pick up all e-scrap with a minimum of 10 pieces (CPU, monitor, printer, keyboard, copier). Entities are not required to remove hard drives if this option is selected. Pick-up will occur within 15 business days from the date the entity is contacted by the supplier.

Entities may choose to deliver electronics to the supplier’s location at their own expense. All disposals must still be pre-authorized by Surplus and appointed with the supplier. Whether picked up or delivered, there is no charge to the entity. Contact Surplus for supplier location and directions.
