Per City of Anacortes policy, once an item has been declared surplus it is offered to other City departments for business use.
If no City department claims the item it is offered for sale on Public Surplus for fourteen days and sold to the highest bidder who meets the minimum value established for the asset.
If no bids are received and the item has de minimis value, the item will be offered to the public free of charge on the City Free Public Surplus page for one month.
If the item is not claimed in one month, it will be discarded or recycled as appropriate.
