If you have a WVU-owned computer that needs to go to surplus, contact your IT desk side support unit. Your desk side support must sanitize your hard drive so sensitive information isn't compromised. If the computer you are relinquishing to your IT desk side support unit is currently being tracked as a Fixed or Federally-Owned Asset, contact Property Administration for further instructions prior to relinquishing the device to your IT support unit.

Computer equipment disposal
WVU employees on all campuses must contact their IT deskside support units to turn over computer equipment that is no longer needed and ensure proper, secure disposal. The process for wiping hard drives and recycling electronics is outlined in the University-Owned Device Standard.
If you have questions about the computer disposal process, contact Information Technology Services at infosec@mail.wvu.edu.
Surplus requests
The Surplus Request Form is used for disposing of electronics that are not computer-related, including refrigerators, microwaves, etc., and is not required for most computers or peripheral devices like keyboards and printers. However, a Surplus Request Form is required if your equipment is being tracked as a Fixed Asset or Federal Government-Owned Asset. In most cases, property items being tracked as a Fixed Asset or Federal Government-Owned Asset, should have a WVU inventory tag (OC tag) or a Federal Government tag.
Contact your college/departmental asset inventory coordinator with additional questions about the identity of Fixed Asset/Federal Government-Owned Assets and whether a Surplus Request Form needs to be completed.
If you have questions about submitting a surplus request, call call the Surplus Redistribution Center at 304-293-5946.
