Surplus

The Excess and Surplus unit is responsible for the appropriate disposition of campus’ surplus equipment and furniture.  Disposition includes resale, repurpose/reuse, recycle or donation.  The unit cannot offer disposition services to non-UC entities.  Revenue for sales in excess of $1,500 is shared with the originating department.

Items identified as Surplus will be picked up by Central Distribution and transported to Excess and Surplus, located at 3200 Regatta Blvd., Suite E, Richmond, CA, at no cost when they can be retrieved by one staff member and a truck within a 20-minute time period.  Items brought in via a moving vendor or other means are subject to charge directly to the originating department by the transporting entity.  Click on “Disposal” for details.

Surplus items have residual value.  Items that are broken beyond use or possess no residual value should not be sent to Excess and Surplus as campus Zero Waste will charge for the disposal of trash, which will be passed on to the originating campus department.  For more information about trash, please click “Trash” on the left side of this screen.  All items received are sorted and trash handling recharged as stated.

Questions about whether an item is suitable for one of the dispositions listed above should be directed to Excess and Surplus for a determination.  Click on “Contact Us” on the left side of this screen for contact information.
