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 in the Real Property classification. Real Property, in general, is considered land or buildings that are deemed surplus to the needs of the various government departments responsible for their management. "

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.

[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.

This category covers surplus computer equipment. In 1994 the Executive Council approved a plan that would have government embark on a program that would see all surplus government computer equipment redistributed throughout the Public School System under The Computers for Schools Program.
