Course Description

Disposal of property and materials is a significant issue with all companies and government agencies. No one wants to dedicate resources to dispose of property that is no longer needed by the organization. Additionally, in recent years, laws and regulations governing the disposition of property and materials have increased and changed significantly. Therefore, property disposal personnel must be extremely efficient in their efforts to excess unneeded property and materials - both to reduce costs and to comply with laws and regulations. This class covers all aspects of property disposal, including regulations and methods to use for donations, excessing and disposal.
