Alabama's Surplus Property Division to hold surplus auction Wednesday

MONTGOMERY, Al.

From desks, chairs and laptop computers to vehicles and vending machines, if you’re looking for something, there is a good chance you can find it at the state surplus property auction on Wednesday.

The state’s Surplus Property Division, part of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, is holding the auction at its warehouse at 4590 Mobile Highway in Montgomery. It begins at 8 a.m. and continues until the last item is auctioned.

Along with office equipment and vehicles, the items for auction include medical equipment, golf carts, boats, lawn equipment and much more.

In addition to property no longer used by state and federal agencies and military bases, Surplus Property also acquires unclaimed property from several airports in the Southeast.

To bid on the items, you will need a photo ID and Social Security number or a federal employee ID.

The items are available for on-site inspection on Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Public auctions are held three times a year, but surplused items are available at any time to city and county governments, state agencies and qualified nonprofit organizations.
