Junk will be evaluated by the Director of Procurement Services to determine if the property has value and can be sold according to the procedures of the State property regulations. If the property is determined to have no value by the Director of Procurement Services, it will be discarded according to state property regulations. The Property Manager will remove Citadel property tags affixed to the property at the time of disposal.
