FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

Services Administration, Part 101-47, which sets forth Governmentwide
regulations concerning the management of excess and surplus
real property and related personal property.
2. DISPOSAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
a. General.
It is the policy of the Department of Defense that excess personal
property shall be disposed of in a manner that ensures maximum use to
satisfy valid requirements, permits authorized donations, and
minimizes the need for abandonment or destruction. Navy and Marine
Corps Property Disposal Programs are integrated under the Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA assumes total management
responsibility for the DoD Property Disposal Service with the
exception of a few residual functions retained by the Military
Departments.
b. Funding and Reimbursement Policy
(1) Property Disposal.
The property disposal program is funded by appropriated funds
without reimbursements from sales proceeds. Expenses directly
related to the disposal process are classified and reported for
budget and management purposes only.
(2) Scrap Metal.
Funds shall not be used for the operation, acquisition, or
construction of new facilities or equipment for metal scrap baling
or shearing, or for melting or sweating aluminum scrap without
specific DoD approval.
(3) Revolving Funds.
Proceeds from the disposal of NWCF inventories and of NWCF
scrap, less expenses, shall be credited to the NWCF.
(4) Recyclable Material.
Pursuant to 10 U.S. Code 2577, a program is provided for the sale
of recyclable materials, as defined in the current issues of
OPNAVINST 5090.1 and MCO P-11000.8, and for the operation
of recycling programs at military installations. Proceeds received
from the DLA, Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office
(DRMO) are deposited to an installation level account under the
Budget Clearing Account (Suspense), 17F3875. These funds,
which represent the total revenues from the sale of recyclable
materials, will be utilized as follows:
