Our Mission

The Property Control Department will remove equipment and furnishings that are no longer
needed from a department. It is necessary to have a Report for Surplus and/or Transfer of
Personal Property Form completed and submitted to the Property Control office.

Departments may use this form to:

Request removal of equipment and furnishings no longer needed.
Report equipment that has been transferred to another department.
Report a change of location of tagged equipment (building, room, floor).
Report the trade in of equipment toward a new equipment purchase.
Report a transfer of equipment to another institution. Note: Property Control must be contacted prior to transferring items to outside entities as these transfers may be unlawful and not allowed depending on the funding source and institution the equipment is going to.

Prior to submitting the form:

Units containing a hard drive (computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, some printers, etc.) must have the hard drive removed; contact the Division of Information Technology using the IT Service Portal or call (631) 632-9800.
Units containing refrigerants (fridges, freezers, air conditioners, refrigerated centrifuges, etc.) must have the refrigerant removed from the unit. West Campus Physical Plant: (631) 632-6400 or University Hospital Physical Plant: (631) 444-7962.
Units containing any hazardous material (biological, radiation, chemical, pumps containing oil, and batteries) need to be cleared by Environmental Health & Safety (631) 632-6410 having their technician sign off on the form.
Ensure the form has the present location section completed, department head signature or authorized signatory, and as applicable provide the description, asset decal number, and serial number.
Items that are too large to fit through doorways will need to be disassembled prior to pick up.
Items also need to be emptied prior to pick up as well (fridges, freezers, file cabinets, incubators with water, centrifuges, etc.)

If an item that is in fair or better condition is not taken by another department or any other SUNY establishments, then it will be offered up for sale on eBay through Albany OGS as allowable by OGS. Please note if State funded items must be offered up through OGS to other State Municipalities prior to being listed on eBay.
