Salvage

Also known as excess property that is no longer required but is in useable condition. Excess property is available for use by Berkeley Lab staff, Department of Energy Management and Operations (M&O) contractors, and Government Services Agency (GSA) staff. Excess property is divided into two categories: (1) Large, high-value items, such as welders and compressors; and (2) miscellaneous low-value items such as office supplies (surplus property).

To salvage property,complete an Equipment Move Tag (EMT) (sample pdf) before transportation (x5404) is contacted. Ensure that details of equipment are clearly written and the transportation driver signs the forms.

Return all EMT white copies to the Property Representative, Marie Butson, or Maryann Villavert.
