Surplus Property Policy
- Items owned by Vassar College or purchased with Vassar College funds that are no longer needed by a department can be declared surplus only upon expressed approval of the department head. Such approvals should be emailed to purchasing@vassar.edu.
- Once the approval is received, surplus items are reviewed by the Purchasing department, which determines whether the items are salvageable and can be sold/donated or discarded.
- If surplus items are considered salvageable they will be offered for sale on Vassar College Surplus website http://surplussys.vassar.edu/
- If surplus items are not considered salvageable they should be disposed of through Buildings & Grounds by submitting a corresponding “Service Request” to B&G with a notation “OK per Purchasing”.
- Disposal of hazardous items (e.g. chemicals, ethanol, etc.) as well as items that contain hazardous materials (e.g. computer monitors, etc.) must be disposed as directed and approved by Jim Kelly (Director of Environmental Health and Safety) ext. 5685.
