Lab Equipment Forms should be submitted to EH&S via the contact information on the form. Once submitted EH&S will stop out, inspect and tag each item, then send the completed paperwork to us.
If an item is submitted on a Lab Equipment Form, it does not need to be submitted again on a regular Excess Property form.
All items must be disconnected from the building prior to our removal. Things like whiteboards and bookshelves need to be removed from the wall and any equipment needs to be disconnected from building electrical/water lines. Any L-shaped or U-shaped desk setups may need to be disassembled prior to our removal as well. See contacts below if there are questions about any of the items on your request.
Lost and Found items should be submitted on a separate form from any other surplus items.
Some examples of common items Surplus does not take:
Syringes and needles
Used/opened cans of paint
Used chemicals, cleaning supplies, and aerosols
Old paperwork
Broken/burnt-out light bulbs
Broken glassware
For computer equipment, please ensure the following:
Apple products
Remove iCloud associations
Remove firmware passwords
General Equipment
Remove BIOS/firmware passwords
Factory reset any admin accounts
Please make sure all contact information is filled out at the top of the form, and make sure item locations are accurate.
Effective August 3rd, 2026 we will no longer accept handwritten forms. Please fill in the fields on the PDF and submit it via email.
A clean, formatted spreadsheet for larger quantities of items may be attached to the submission as long as all ISU asset tag numbers (if applicable) are recorded and the first page of a standard Excess Property Form is filled out as a cover page.
