The Disposition Process: Classifying, Preparing, Reporting and Transferring Property to the Personal Property Branch

What do I do if I have property that I no longer need?

Any government property (anything purchased with NIH or federal funds) that you possess and no longer have a need for cannot be thrown or given away. When you no longer need the property, you must turn it in for other authorized uses. The primary goal of federal property disposal programs is making maximum use of property within the Government before acquiring a new item or disposing of the old item through various government programs. Recycling or reutilizing property saves federal tax dollars. All property that you want to dispose of must be classified, prepared, reported and transferred to the Personal Property Branch for reuse or disposal.
