Massachusetts State Surplus
Surplus Pickup and Disposition Request Form
Contract FAC42

Please use this form to request a pickup of surplus property under Mass. Operational Services Division Contact No. FAC42. This contract is open to Massachusetts state agencies, municipalities and school districts, and non-profit organizations.

The Institution Recycling Network is committed to assuring that all surplus managed under this contract will be donated to U.S. and international relief agencies, who will use Massachusetts state surplus for disaster relief and economic development. Most surplus disposed under the contract will be used for hurricane relief for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and in areas of the Caribbean devastated by 2004 and 2005 hurricanes. If surplus cannot be donated for relief efforts, it will be recycled for its wood or metal content. No surplus disposed through contract FAC42 will be landfilled or incinerated.

When you submit this form, IRN will contact you within three business days to discuss details and prepare a proposal for service. Users of contract FAC42 are asked to cover the costs for pickup and in-state transportation of surplus, consolidation, and preparation of outbound shipments. IRN’s nonprofit partners absorb all costs after this point, including land and sea transportation, warehousing, identifying and coordinating with local receiving organizations, and distribution to recipients. Overall, the cost to manage surplus through this program is almost always less than the cost of simply throwing it away.

Filling out the form, the most important thing is to provide as accurate an inventory as you can of the items you have as surplus. To keep costs as low as possible, we will set up “milk run” collection routes to pick up surplus from several generators at a time, and to plan effectively, we need a good estimate of the type and quantity of material you will be providing.

If you have any questions, please contact Mark Berry of IRN by email or at 603-229-1962.
