Asset Disposition Guide
A move is also a chance to shed assets. The right disposition path depends on value, hazard, and time — and can recover cash or a tax deduction.
Disposition options
| Option | Best for | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| Resale / marketplace | Recent furniture, usable IT, fixtures with secondary-market value. | Highest cash recovery; requires time, logistics, and a buyer. |
| Auction (live / online) | Bulk lots of furniture, equipment, and fixtures. | Moderate; fast clearance but discounted prices. |
| Donation | Furniture and usable equipment near end of life. | No cash, but a tax-deductible receipt; check 501(c)(3) eligibility. |
| Certified e-waste recycling | Servers, monitors, phones, and batteries. | None (cost), but required for data security and compliance. |
| Trade-in / vendor take-back | Copiers, HVAC, and some IT under service contracts. | Credit toward new equipment or waived fees. |
| Landfill / scrap | True junk with no value or hazard. | Cost (haul + disposal); last resort. |
Before you dispose
- Data-wipe every device — certified erasure, not just a factory reset.
- Confirm donation receipts meet 501(c)(3) rules for any deduction.
- Keep disposal out of the lease-restoration scope so you are not double-charged.
