propertyAll departmental furniture and equipment disposal should be handled through the LSA Movers.  Any items we feel are in good condition, we’ll store and repurpose them to other LSA units.  We schedule regular trips with Property Disposition to consolidate items from several units to minimize trips.

Sending computers to Property Disposition has specific regulatory requirements.  Inform Property Disposition if your computers have gold tags for Property Control.  LSA TS must clear hard drives.  See more information on the Property Disposition Page.

Repurposed Furniture Requests

If you require office furniture, check with us, and we may have that item in our off-site inventory.  We cannot access new furniture; contact your LSA facilities manager for new furniture requests.
