Instructions for University Departments

How to Request a Surplus Pickup

Any surplus item: (e.g. furniture, computers, equipment, miscellaneous items)  University departments must submit a FAMIS Service Request on-line at the Physical Plant website. Go to How to Request Services  for details. After we receive your request, the UVM Surplus/Recycling team will pick up your items and determine whether they are suitable for resale, scrap, recycling or disposal. Departments are charged a nominal hauling fee for pick up and/or disposal of surplus items from their office.

Appliances, Laboratory Equipment and Movable Equipment: University departments must fill out a Surplus Disposal Form for each individual item, in addition to submitting the FAMIS Self-Serve Request. Departments must download and complete this form for appliances, laboratory equipment and movable equipment.  (This form is not required for furniture and computer equipment.)  Complete the form, make a copy. Attach one copy to the item and send original copy to UVM Surplus via campus mail, fax or email.  For more information on procedures, please phone Surplus/Recycling at 656-5731 or email <recycle@uvm.edu>
