Surplus takes many different kinds of good quality reusable items. Everything from pencils to airplanes, and much more in between.
Surplus Operations cannot accept broken, expired items or hazardous or toxic waste. These items include but are not limited to:
Visit the Department of Ecology for a complete listing of hazardous materials. When these items are declared surplus, your agency is responsible to ensure they are disposed of properly. If your agency does not have an established contract for hazardous waste disposal, please use our master contract for hazardous waste disposal. You may also contact us if you have questions.
Many of these items can be recycled using our state master contracts.
State agencies have delegated authority to dispose of scrap materials (unusable or broken property), agencies are still required to submit a disposal request.
Scrap metal should be recycled, either sold on site or picked up by a state contracted vendor. View master contract information on scrap metal recycling.
Per RCW 43.19.1919 you can donate your items to eligible government entities. Please contact us at surplusdisposal@des.wa.gov for an approved list. You must submit a disposal request and receive a surplus authority number to donate items. View Washington Administrative Code 200-360-010 for more information.
