DISCARDED, SCRAPPED, RECYCLED, OR DISMANTLED FOR SALVAGE - 3520.9

State agencies may dispose of state owned surplus personal property by means other than the sale of the property, e.g., the property is to be salvaged, recycled, or hauled to a landfill. The agency’s property control officer and unit supervisor shall certify in writing that each disposition has been accomplished. The certification may be included on the STD 152 or attached and filed with the STD 152.

DISPOSITION OF MODULAR SYSTEM (MSF) AND CONVENTIONAL FURNITURE MANUFACTURED BY Commercial ORGANIZATIONS AND THE CALIFORNIA PRISON INDUSTRY AUTHORITY (CALPIA) 

Prior to recycling or discarding MSF or conventional furniture, state agencies shall attempt to find other state agencies interested in the furniture for reutilization. If another state agency would like to reutilize the furniture, the owning state agency will transfer the MSF or conventional furniture to the receiving state agency using the STD 158. The receiving agency will be responsible for dismantling and accounting for all MSF pieces and parts and for moving the MSF to the receiving agency’s site.

When reutilization is unsuccessful, state agencies may donate, sell, or recycle commercially manufactured MSF or conventional furniture.

CALPIA MSF or conventional furniture may not be sold. When reutilization of CALPIA MSF or conventional furniture is unsuccessful, state agencies shall recycle surplus CALPIA MSF or conventional furniture. State agencies do not need CALPIA approval to recycle surplus CALPIA MSF or conventional furniture.

Recycling of MSF or conventional furniture may be done through a scrap metal recycling facility located within the state, as defined in Health and Safety Code section 25211(e). State agencies must still submit and receive approval of a STD 152 from the Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM) prior to recycling.
