Recycle, Surplus, Trash (RST)
Recycle, Surplus, Trash (RST)
This page shows the items that I needed to find a new home for which would be either Recycle, Surplus, or Trash (RST).
Here surplus would be defined as any item that would have gone up for auction on the state website. None of these items would have been worth going to auction, so now what would I do with them?
Trying to avoid just putting everything in the landfill, I had a salvage company sort thru and remove any items they could reuse.
If it was metal, it was thrown into a metal recycle bin and taken down to the Port of Tacoma metal recycling. Trash items were loaded into a moving truck and taken to the dump.
If there was a state inventory sticker on the item, this meant it was in the state inventory system and I needed to have it removed. So, I went back thru every item and created a list to be removed out of inventory and forwarded to the appropriate person.
Why the colors? Pink is Surplus, Red was Electrical so this was TEC. You can look at the picture with the colored writing and it has all the needed information in it; who, what, when, where, why, and how.

All the recyclable metal was moved to this area which allowed the movers to stack, it was easy access from the outside for the recycle bin to be dropped off and picked up when it was full. It also allowed there to be a second truck on the left side which was for the landfill.

One of the spaces I was going to be allowed to move the AUT program into, was the old autobody program shop. Beig able to move into an already auto-themed building made the transition easier to plan on my end and ultimately for the end-users, the instructors and students.
These are picture of some of the items that had to be removed inorder to start preparing the space for the MEP and HVAC Job Order Contracts (JOC). Below you'll notice items that are on a pallet, they were preparing to be sold on the state auction website, 'surplus' items.
Since the space could no longer be used to stor items, the items were going to be added to the automotive 'land fill items'.
Do you notice all the scrap metal?
I could not let those items go to the land fill and have to pay to take them there! I was able to track down a scrap metel recycle company in Tacoma that brought up this huge bin (for free) so we could throw all the scrap metal in that bin (or three).

Facilities director at the time, retired after 30 years of working for South Seattle. Before he retired, we were on a walk-thru of the automotive building and he told me that in 1974 he attended the automotive program and he used this same paint booth. Of course it was brand new then and has since definitely gotten used.

I really liked this stove and wish I could have restored it.
