Salvage Removal Request

Salvage Removal Instructions and Request Form. Steps to completing your pick-up request.

Complete the following instructions before your pick-up request to ensure that your pick-up is as problem-free as possible.

Step 1: Prepare Your Pickup

1. All items to be picked up should be gathered into one (1) or two (2) Accessible locations. If you have salvage items stored with items staying at your site. Please physically separate salvage items from the rest. If not separated your salvage will not be picked up.
2. Please disconnect, unplug, and unlock all items to be salvaged, including but not limited to Promethean Boards, laptop carts, furniture (desks, desk accessories such as lamps and adding machines, chairs, bookshelves), storage cabinets, file cabinets, all tables, printers, cameras, projectors, television sets, audio equipment (speakers, microphones), music equipment (instruments, podiums, stage risers), small gym equipment, and Food Services Kitchen equipment (coolers, stoves, refrigerators, small appliances). All contents must be emptied before drivers arrive for pick-up. Failure to do so will leave the items at the school/site. Any items left behind must be resubmitted for pick-up. 

Step 2: Verify Bar Codes

1. All items with APS Bar-Code numbers must be verified against your TipWeb inventory to ensure that we received the correct APS Bar-Code number, and description on your request. This process usually takes about 48 hours to complete after submitting your request.
2. Materials Management and CFS report every APS bar-coded asset's depreciation (life) to the Board of Education. This requires Materials Management & Capital Fiscal Services to research every APS bar-coded asset before we pick it up. This will take additional time to process.
3. Should an asset still have life you will be notified via e-mail regarding the next steps to follow.
4. APS numbers are described as follows:

• Should say: “Property of Albuquerque Public Schools”
• If in doubt please list the number and Materials Management will verify its validity.

Separate the non-bar-coded items and bar-coded items.

Please note that all APS BAR-CODED items, regardless of condition, must be sent to salvage/surplus yard for disposal.

Step 3: Designate a Point of Contact

A primary and an alternate “point-of-contact” person that has knowledge of the items to be picked up and with access to the surplus items should be designated. If the primary or alternate contacts are not available to assist with the checkout process, your order will be rescheduled for pick-up.

Additional Instructions

• If at a later date, you want to add items to your salvage pick-up, a new request is required for the additions. In most cases, these additions will be picked up at the same time provided that we get the necessary paperwork 24 hours prior to your pick-up.
• If your pick-up is for a large number of items, more than one trip over a period of several days may be required.
• A pick-up attempt that is turned away for any reason will result in the pick-up request going to the bottom of the list.
• For clarification on the above please call Eileen Burks (505) 848-8852.
