The Property Process Agency Regulations Internal Screening Other Federal Management Regulations (FMR) Establishes Criteria for Reporting GSA—Abandonment/Destruction “Federal agencies may abandon or destroy excess personal property when there has been a written determination that the property has no commercial value, or the estimated cost of its continued care and handling would exceed the estimated proceeds from its sale. ” “Federal agencies may abandon or destroy excess personal property when there has been a written determination that the property has no commercial value, or the estimated cost of its continued care and handling would exceed the estimated proceeds from its sale. ” http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/channelView.do?pageTypeId=17110 &channelPage=%2Fep%2Fchannel%2FgsaOverview.jsp&channelId=- 24479#trf

Due Diligence/End of Life What is Due Diligence? Ensuring a recycler uses environmentally sound recycling practices. What is End of Life? The point at which personal property has reached the end of it’s original purpose. Executive Order 13423 requires agencies to “use environmentally sound practices with respect to disposition of agency electronic equipment that has reached the end of its useful life”.
24
http://www.federalelectronicschallenge.net/resources/docs/recycling.pdf “If a federal agency or facility opts to use READ or UNICOR, they do not need to perform due diligence because the EPA has already conducted due diligence activities for these electronics recyclers to ensure they follow environmentally sound recycling practices.” $$ And our services are FREE!!
