Computer Surplus Process

If you have a computer that you no longer use, it should be returned to IT for either distribution to another employee in need of a computer, or for eRecycling the device if it's too old. To turn your computer in to IT, use the following instructions:
  • Download the PRO-01-IT Equipment Data & Department Removal Form and fill it out.

  • Email that file to ITServiceDesk@umb.edu to start the process with IT. The original Excel file must be emailed, no scanning, handwritten, photocopy, etc.

  • Print out the form & adhere it to the surplus units.

  • Bring the surplus computers to IT Desktop offices in Healey 3rd floor, room 009.

  • If you have too many to transport to Healey, please request in your email to ask for Desktop team's help with transporting them.
Note: If the steps above are not followed, IT Desktop team cannot accept the surplus computers.
