Equipment Disposal
Disposing of Equipment
Unused or unwanted equipment must be disposed of properly. Proper disposal of equipment insures that hazardous chemicals do not end up in the landfill and that more items are reused or recycled. The Center for Neuroscience pays for equipment disposal for all CNS labs.
Procedures for Equipment Disposal
1. Complete an equipment disposal form
Be sure to include the asset number on the form for any items that have an asset tag. The asset tag looks like this:
The asset number is always the number that begins with a year as shown above.
Be sure to list the building address and room number on the Equipment Disposal form in the box for "location." For example, an appropriate location would be as follows:
1544 Newton Ct., Room 121
2. Label the equipment with a sign that says, "Bargain Barn," so there is no confusion about the disposition of the equipment.
3. Send the Equipment Disposal form to the Facility Manager via email.
Note: Bargain Barn pick up may take several weeks.
