Scope1.1 This practice describes various personal property dis-posal methods including donation, sales, recycling,destruction, and abandonment.1.2 This practice recogn
3、izes that while some entities distin-guish between excess and surplus personal property, thispractice will remain consistent with Terminology E2135 usingthose words as they are defined therein.1.3 Prior to disposing of any personal property, consider-ation should be given to reutilization/reuse with

5、ng the most efficient and economical methodof disposal is critical to a successful disposal program.1.6 This practice does not include specific requirements forthe classification or the disposal of scrap items or materials.1.7 This practice does not specifically address disposalrequirements of gover
6、nmental laws and regulations. However,this practice enables an entity to align or integrate applicablegovernmental laws and regulations with its own requirements.1.7.1 When disposing of property owned by another entity,entities must adhere to contractual requirements of the owningentity as well as a

17、ies will determine disposal methods in accordancewith this practice using terminology cited in TerminologyE2135.5. Significance and Use5.1 Continuing emphasis by interested stakeholders de-mands that an entity dispose of surplus personal property in themost economical and efficient manner possible.5
18、.2 The selection of the disposal method may depend onregulatory, environmental, or safety concerns.5.3 A personal property disposal program should be con-ducted in a manner consistent with the entitys requirements,goals, and objectives.6. Management of Surplus Personal Property6.1 Entities shall est
19、ablish policies and implement account-ability systems to manage the disposal of surplus personalproperty.6.2 Property management systems should be designed toidentify underutilized equipment, rental/lease periods nearingexpiration, etc., to assist in determining what property may nolonger be require
20、d by an entity.6.3 Surplus personal property capable of storing electronicdata should be sanitized prior to disposal to eliminate thepossible loss of control of data characterized by negativesocietal, safety, or security impact. NIST 80088 describespractices to clean hard drives and other storage de
21、vices in orderto protect sensitive data and maximize reuse potential by usingthe least destructive sanitization procedures wherever appro-priate. The physical removal of hard drives or other datastorage components prior to disposal should usually be con-sidered as a last resort. Follow your entities
22、 sanitizationprocesses, policies, and procedures.6.4 The disposal of surplus personal property may involvethe following methods: donation, recycling, sale, destruction,abandonment or any other appropriate method authorized bythe property owner.6.5 Entities should assure that they have sufficient rig
23、hts todispose of property prior to initiating disposal actions.7. Donation of Surplus Personal Property7.1 Entities should establish donation programs that complywith applicable entity processes, policies, and procedures.Donation programs should enable donation of surplus propertydirectly to eligibl
24、e entities with the least amount of adminis-trative effort/costs. Care must be used to ensure donationsstand up to public scrutiny.7.2 The donation of surplus property to non-profits orsimilar entities can meet disposal needs and bring goodwill tothe donating entity.7.3 Governmental entities must de
25、termine eligibility inaccordance with the applicable federal statutes and regulations.Each U.S. state and territory has a State Agency for SurplusProperty (SASP). These agencies were established to receivefederal surplus personal property and to donate it to publicagencies and certain non-profit, ta
26、x-exempt agencies. TheGeneral Services Administration (GSA) has the responsibil-ity of administering this program and has issued regulations forits implementation.8. Recycling Surplus Personal Property8.1 Recycling should be considered prior to declaring prop-erty as having disposal or sale value fo
27、r material content only.8.2 Consider the recycling of salvage and scrap materialsafter destruction.8.3 Recycling may be a cost effective, environmentallyfriendly way to dispose of surplus personal property. Aneffective recycling program decreases material entering thewaste stream and is sometimes re
28、quired by statute or law.8.4 Recyclers should be certified to comply with ISO14001. Recycling certifications for electronic equipment dis-posal include the R2 Standard, the e-Stewards Standard,WEEE Directive, or RoHS Directive, or a combination thereof.9. Sale of Surplus Property9.1 Property determi
29、ned to be no longer needed by theowning entity may be considered for sale.9.2 Entities should determine the most economical methodto sell surplus property.9.2.1 Sales should be planned and conducted in a mannerthat will maximize benefits and minimize risk to the entity.9.2.2 When planning and conduc
30、ting sales, entities shouldconsider property characteristics, location, anticipated market,duration of the sale and anticipated proceeds versus anticipatedcost to conduct the sale.9.2.3 Entities should consider other methods of disposalwhenever anticipated cost of sale exceeds anticipated proceedsof
31、 the sale.9.3 Records must be updated to reflect the sale and that theproperty is no longer available.9.4 Entities should ensure all necessary documentation suchas Certificates of Origin, maintenance records, vehicle titles,etc., for the proper transfer of ownership to the successfulbuyer are availa
32、ble. Documents such as vehicle titles, bills ofsale, etc., should be authenticated by an authorized official ofthe selling entity (when required) and copies maintained asappropriate for audit trail purposes.9.5 Entities offering items considered sensitive or that mayhave other societal, safety or se
33、curity implications shouldensure all necessary precautions are completed or in place priorto the sale.9.6 Consider the sale of salvage and scrap materials afterdestruction.10. Destruction or Abandonment of Surplus PersonalProperty10.1 Surplus personal property that has not been otherwisedisposed of
34、should be considered for destruction or abandon-ment.E2306 13210.2 Destruction or abandonment of personal property mustbe fully documented and provide an audit trail.10.3 In establishing justifications for destruction or aban-donment actions, entities should conclude that property bedestroyed or aba
35、ndoned for safety reasons or by law or acontractual arrangement and cannot be disposed of via anotherdisposal method.10.4 Destruction or abandonment must be performed in amanner that minimizes environmental impact. The destructionor abandonment of contaminated or hazardous materials mustbe compliant
36、 with applicable governmental laws or regula-tions.11. Summary11.1 This practice promotes the importance of selecting thebest method for the disposal of surplus personal property.11.2 The central objective of this practice is to ensure themost efficient, timely, and economical process for disposal o
37、fpersonal property is selected.12.
