Disposal of goods at the end of their life

The service handles the proper disposal of assets (starting with a formal request from the person responsible for the asset, followed by the subsequent removal from inventory) and their storage in a temporary warehouse until the local RUL takes charge of the assets, once they have been unloaded and become waste, for disposal.

Disposal may be requested for:

  • Technical obsolescence or unsuitability: asset no longer usable for its functional purposes.
  • Breakage and/or irreparable failure: asset damaged and no longer repairable, or for which repair is no longer cost-effective.
  1. Procedure
    The person responsible for/recipient of the asset who intends to dispose of it must contact the Technical Representative for the relevant departmental office (see the ‘Service Representatives’ and ‘Contacts’) to arrange, if necessary, an inspection or to send them directly the disposal request form (Section ‘Forms and Attachments’) completed with all the necessary and/or available data. In addition to the form, a photo of the asset must also be attached.
  2. Only once the item has been verified and identified in the inventory register will the form be returned to the applicant for signature.
  3. Via Terracini site: The goods are taken in charge, identified by waste code and stored in the warehouse pending authorisation for disposal by the technical representatives responsible for the service. Responsibility for the goods during storage in the warehouse remains with the consignee until the unloading form is issued and the goods can then be taken in charge and disposed of by the local RUL.

    Viale Risorgimento site: Due to a lack of storage space, materials undergoing the unloading process must be kept by the consignees until the unloading form is issued. At that point, they can be delivered to the Local Unit manager (Cappellari Ettore), who will proceed with disposal in accordance with the law.
