Furniture and equipment identified as surplus to a department’s needs may be disposed of by completing the Electronic Declaration and Disposal of Surplus Assets Form (requires MUN login). Facilities Management will arrange for the removal and disposition of items, typically through public auction. For questions regarding this service, email surplusdisposal@mun.ca.

Departments must maximize the opportunity for reuse of items and to minimize the environmental impact by reducing the amount of new purchases and the amount of material that enters the waste stream.

Before requesting disposal, departments must obtain all necessary approvals for disposal of equipment that contains radioactive sources, x-ray generators, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), ozone-depleting substances or other hazardous or environmentally sensitive substances and equipment such as autoclaves and distillation apparatuses that require licenses or permits to own or operate. For more information, contact Health and Safety Department at 709-864-6126.

Removal of surplus items will usually be within 30 days from approval of the surplus for pickup. Please note during winter months, this timeline may be longer due to the movers also having responsibility for snow removal.
