Surplus Property Information
On Campus

Northern Arizona University is required by law to maximize use of all assets and, when it has no further use for them, maximize returns on their sale. We are not allowed to give surplus property away. The Surplus Property Department is the only NAU department authorized to dispose of surplus property. The primary role of the Surplus Property department is to ensure that the excess property generated by NAU will be handled in a method that both maximizes the return to the University and meets the disposal requirements of the state and federal governments.

We offer three main services to NAU Departments.

  • We will pick up and receive excess (no longer needed) property and equipment. If you have property you no longer need:
    • Gather items into one area.
    • Check with other members of your department and make sure no items are still wanted.Once we receive property, there will be a small fee if a department wants items returned.
    • Call us at 523-4163 during normal business hours to schedule a pickup time.
  • We provide a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new products. Look below for a few of the items we currently have available for departments to purchase.
  • We are able to acquire property from other State and Federal facilities to fulfill specific needs of departments. To be added to our "want-list," give us a call.

Departments may now e-mail us at darrell.fennell@nau.edu to let us know when they have items to pick up, to be placed on the "want list", or to inquire about our policies and/or procedures.

Our "Guide to Surplus Property" is also available for reference. It details our policies and procedures.
