Property Disposition

Property Disposition is responsible for the disposal of all university property designated as surplus by U-M units, per SPG 520.01 on Acquisition, Use and Disposition of Property. When property is no longer needed, units declare it as surplus. Property Disposition will dispose of the property based on a determination of its highest and best use, then return 90 percent of any proceeds to the unit. Examples include computers, equipment, and furniture. Our mission is to sell, recycle, or dispose of surplus equipment to the best advantage of the University of Michigan.

To declare surplus, please complete one of the following electronic Declaration of Surplus forms (eDOS).

Surplus pickup is available for the Ann Arbor, Flint, Dearborn, and Michigan Medicine campuses. Property Disposition will put in a work order on your behalf and send the movers on the given date to pick up your surplus items. If your unit wishes to bring the items, you will still need to schedule a date first.
