This category encompasses items of surplus, not including Real Property, that have been determined to be, upon inspection, of no value to government and are in such condition that refurbishing is uneconomical. Any reusable or recyclable components are removed prior to disposal. The use of this option may also be based on environmental or safety considerations such as the obsolescence of the item; i.e., baby crib, mattresses, medical equipment, et cetera.

This category covers items of surplus, not including Real Property, that were publicly tendered for purchase and removal from specific locations throughout the Province.

The Structures Database contains data related to all Public Works owned or maintained structures. It contains bridges and culverts that are at least 3 metres long and generally open to traffic, as well as overhead signs.

This category covers those items of surplus, not including Real Property, that have a minor monetary value but, after investigation by departmental supply technicians, are deemed to have no known future use within the government. In addition, it would be determined by surplus inventory staff that the item could not economically be refurbished.

The locations of all Long-term Care and Residential Care facilities in Nova Scotia by their civic address.

This category encompasses items of surplus that have been removed from various pieces of furniture and equipment destined for landfills throughout the Province. These pieces are then sent to, or picked up by, various organizations committed to the Province’s continuing program on the diversion of solid waste from Provincial or Municipal landfills. There are other pieces of surplus equipment, such as IT assets, that may be broken, causing removal of sensitive information to be impossible in the traditional manner. In such cases, these items are securely disposed of by the Province’s contracted metal recycler. Other surplus or obsolete electronic items are recycled through the Atlantic Canada’s Electronic Stewardship (ACES) in accordance with the Electronic Product Stewardship Regulations.

[ARCHIVED] Recommendation is to discontinue the “Nova Scotia Groundwater Observation Well Temperature Data”. This is for scientific / technical reasons. The data was never designed to be collected as a dataset on its own, but is used by sensors to create a correction facter for other data (groundwater levels). Developments in academic research show that the type of water wells we monitor for groundwater levels do not have the correct design for measuring temperature, with issues that include the potential within wells for thermal convection cells that cause groundwater temperature readings to fluctuate inconsistently. Groundwater temperatures have been recorded from the NS Groundwater Observation Well monitoring network since 2003. This temperature data is presented as daily averages and may be influenced by a number of variable factors including air temperature, well construction, depth, geology and groundwater conditions.
