1. Once obsolete and unusable items are identified, an application for disposal should be prepared and approved by the related department and Chief Accountant prior to disposal of any inventory item.
2. For non-expired goods that retain some market value, disposal methods to be used must be considered:
- Return to original supplier for exchange or restocking
- Sale to used-material dealers or to other users: the value should be determined by the Purchaser from prices available on the present day in the open market
- Salvage the materials and use the parts for service or support.
3. All expenses associated with the disposal of the items will be charged directly against the appropriate department expense account. Any monies recovered from sale or salvage will be booked as other income.
