Surplus Property and Recycling (SPRA)
Surplus Property and Recycling Annex (SPRA)
The Surplus Property and Recycling Annex accepts used and obsolete furniture and equipment from schools and offices and determines the appropriate disposition (i.e., discard, sell at auction, recycle).
Truck Operations provides services for the pick-up and transfer of salvage furniture and equipment to the Annex. Items that can be auctioned are auctioned through GovDeals.com.

***As of August 2025, SPRA is open for schools and offices every Wednesday of the month. District staff can visit between 5:30 AM and 2 PM, but please be sure to arrive by 1 PM at the latest. If you are unable to visit you can inquire about items by contacting SPRA at [email protected] or 213-745-5910.

Guidelines:
Important: Salvage Material Disposal
Salvage materials should not be dumped into regular trash bins. This includes surplus furniture, equipment, and large materials intended for surplus collection.
- Doing so will result in vendors refusing to collect bins.
- For clarification or assistance, contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at (213) 241-3199.
One major surplus property (salvage) pick-up per school year
- Each school or office will be allowed one large surplus property pick-up (approximately 10 pallets of material) per school year. Additional large pick-up requests must be funded by the school or the office.
Small pick-up requests
- Each school or office may have 10 small item requests for surplus property pick-up annually. Items must be small, able to be loaded by one person, and limited to less than one pallet-sized load. Items should be placed at a ground-level location that is accessible by truck. Requests will be scheduled and accommodated on existing District trucks that deliver supplies and other items to schools and offices. On average, a surplus property pick-up request will be completed by Truck Operations within three weeks of the original date submitted.
Items Truck Operations will NOT pick up
- Pianos, fluorescent light bulbs, paint, tires, toner (used), and other hazardous materials. Contact the Office of Environmental Health and Services at (213) 241-3955 regarding hazardous materials.
- Apple items (Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Display/Monitor), Smartphones, Office Monitors, Windows (Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Display/Monitor), Office Telephones, Wireless Access Points (hotspots) and Chromebooks.
